@Marcel, I think I've noticed the same. I copied the system's xfce- applications.menu (either from /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu or /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu, I don't remember which) to my ~/.config/menus folder, and have been editing that file by hand. In the "Applications Menu" dialog that pops up when you right click the menu and choose properties, I have the custom menu file option selected, and I have it set to ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu

All the buttons seem to work but when you hit "New Item" or "New Menu", type in your settins and click "create" nothing happens. Also attempted to disable some menu items and while the menu editor shows the changes there are no changes to the actual menu, even after restarting X.
