Bug#372826: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#372826: xfce4: request for a top-level "applications" menu

[Michael Gilbert]

My suggustion is that the xfce menu acts as the gnome applications
menu does.  I've attached two screenshots.  The first (current.png) is
the xfce menu now, and the second (desired.png) is how i suggest the
menu should be.  This would improve usability by reducing the number
of clicks that users go through.
