with the patch applied, what happens when you click on the "quit" menu
item in the desktop menu?  does xfdesktop crash?

you're using gtk 2.5.  this is unsupported, aa 2.5 is development code.
revert to the stable 2.4.x series and you'll be fine.  there's no reason
to be using 2.5 unless you're a gtk developer, or are developing an app
against gtk 2.5 APIs.

you're probably trying to use the same menu2.xml as from 4.0.x.  included
menus now have to be fully valid xfdesktop-menu XML files, not just the
portion to be included.  usually you can just add the XML header from
the main menu.xml, and then wrap the rest of the contents inside
<xfdesktop-menu> </xfdesktop-menu> tags.
