Would maintaining a separate GList/GSList for the FrapMenuItem order in
each FrapMenu be too much overhead, both speed- and memory-wise?

Keeping the original order is absolutely necessary for a useful menu
implementation, regardless of what the spec says.  If I can't replicate
the current default Xfce menu (more or less), that's a problem.

Yep, that worked, thanks.
