After I changed it to "Use custom menu file", and changed the file
to /home/dewd/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml
I was able to edit the file successfully.

The strange thing is that as I reported originally, I could edit the file
and save it, but it wouldn't change anything in the menu and neither
would show any error like "couldn't write to file X". Maybe there is
a usability issue there.

Thanks for pushing me through it.

Cheers,
Joao
