Bug description:
  XFCE & Xubuntu use <Merge type="all" /> in their menu files, which
  python-xdg currently (all current versions) does not handle correctly:

  I think the fix is as simple as

  But as it can also be trivially worked around by replacing <Merge
  type="all" /> with <Merge type="menus" /><Merge type="files" />, I
  wonder if this should be done in XFCE/Xubuntu?
