This issue finds its roots in a problem with the creation and deletion of Applications Menu (aka Main Menu) entries which is explained on:

Comment #2 there explains the motivation for the present submission in greater detail. It appears not related or limited just to Xfce.

Specifically, the key issue of the present submission centres on giving the user GUI-based full control through alacarte to configure the desired allocation of individual menu entries (launchers) to the Application Menu categories. At present, this can only be fully achieved by manually editing .desktop configuration files.

Note: Clearly, there is no intention (nor any need) to deviate from the standard menu specifications. It is merely a matter of fully enabling what goes where in the Applications Menu across (as opposed to within) the various menu categories under GUI-based user control.
