Eva is referring to what is called a "panel" in Xfce. By default, there is a 
panel that horizontally spans the top of the screen. You can right-click on 
this panel to add new "Items" to it, one of which is a "Launcher." The 
"Launcher" can be used to start apps inside AppVMs with one or two clicks. I 
find this very convenient, since I have a lot of VMs and there's no way (that 
I've found) to create submenus in the main "Applications Menu."

I'm talking about the applications menu.  what is the "toolbar" you are talking 
about?  All I know of to edit the menu in xfce is to use alt f3. But that only 
lets you edit existing entries,  not create new ones.
