It might be more tricky than it seems. I applied the patch directly (to xfce4-panel-4.12.0), it works. Then I played with it, and it can be reduced to only the following single change

- gtk_widget_show (plugin->label);
+ if (plugin->show_button_title)
+ gtk_widget_show (plugin->label);

The tricky part - for me - is that in the original source, in function "applications_menu_plugin_class_init", the "show-button-title" property is set to TRUE, yet in the end it is FALSE. So the "blind assumption" that the title (label) is on by default is perhaps not so blind. The real bug seems to be in the fact that the plugin->show_button_title is not "TRUE" even if it should be.
