I did that but did not find a conversion tool/script/program. I might
have missed it as I looked for "conv" in the subject... 
I did find a message that someone had a Gnome & KDE menu converison for
the XFce4 menu( Wed, 9 Apr 2003 ) and, interestingly, this(reply to " A
couple of comments on xfce4 " ):

nice.

Yeap, I'll second that. But not a priority, just a "keep in mind before
the .0 release"

:), well, guess you know who wrote the original on Sun, 4 Aug 2002,
almost a year ago.  

I am having no luck finding a single program that allows me to 'just do
it' in Linux.  
Actually I have not found any OSS program in Linux that can take text
and produce XML using any kind of transformation tag sheet/doc/DTD so
that one can have a one to one correspondence between the (structured)
text and the XML file created. 

Fortunately, the parts in  xfce3rc  that need transformation are
structured so maybe it won't be that hard to do...
