Seems good to me. Of course we good provide xfce_settings.directory file 
and in that say something like:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Directory
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xfce4 Settings
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
Icon=xfce-settings.png

And then in system level menu xml. This uses freedesktop menu 
specification so it's not directly usable.
...
<Menu>
    <Name>XFce Settings</Name>
    <AppDir>applications</AppDir>
    <DirectoryDir>applications</DirectoryDir>
    <Directory>xfce_settings</Directory>
    <Include>
         <And>
            <Categories>X-XFCE</Categories>
            <Categories>Settings</Categories>
         </And>
     </Include>
</Menu>

What I'm going after is that instead of each entry having text "XFce4" 
we should just say "XFce4 Settings" on the menu name.

I can't see any need but that's just me...

www.xfce.org seems to use XFce, so would it be "XFce4" or "XFce 4" then. 
If it's in the menu on it's own "XFce 4" would be my choise but 
otherwise "XFce4 Program_name".
