I think, you got me wrong. I want to keep the way the panel works
(e.g. not the windows-like "Start"button panel), but it would make
things easier if we do not store stuff in a single xml file, but adopt
the menu spec for the backend.

Simple example:

	.../XFce/Panel/
	.../XFce/Panel/1stMenu/
	.../XFce/Panel/1stMenu/Terminal.desktop
	.../XFce/Panel/1stMenu/Filemanager.desktop
	...

... or similar. We should discuss the details when it becomes
on-topic.

Hope you get me right now :)
