the problem with that is the menu button has an option to display an 
icon or the text "Xfce4".  also, it'll fall back to the text if the icon 
isn't found (tho i suppose this part isn't important).  in addition, the 
user can display the text _and_ the icon simultaneously if they want 
(tho i'm not sure why).  JF wrote the patch for the option.  anyway, 
correct me if i'm wrong, but i dont think xfce_iconbutton can do this 
without some difficulty.
