Hi Mike,

I believe the development version of garcon (the menu library used by Xfce)
supports menu merging, a feature that was needed to be able to use the
Alacarte menu editor. This should be used in the next version of Xfce, but I
suspect that if Garcon is released separately that someone might patch Xfce
4.6 to use it. It will take a while before that happens though.

The next version of Xfce (4.8) is planned for April 2010, which you might be
able to use in the next version of Xubuntu (10.04).

Cheers,
