Well, xfce4-menueditor is launched, with the wrong menu, but launched.
Just go to File / Open and you're done (or use the "Open" icon)

It's a default gtk file chooser. Use Ctrl+L or / shortcuts to have an
URL bar. There is a setting to show hidden file but I don't remember it.
I guess it's documented somewhere in gtk, maybe not enough, though.

Indeed, there is still a bug where xfce4-menueditor doesn't pick up the
parameter. I'll check and report upstream.
