After digging in a bit more, the reason why thunar-vcs-plugin is able to
create submenus is because they register a new menu provider for each
submenu. While this works to a degree, I'd like to have more flexibility as
well as allow more than one level of submenus to be possible.
In order to get "real" submenus working for thunar extensions, the
thunar_standard_view_merge_custom_actions() function needs to be modified
and a new *_add_custom_actions function needs to be created to recursively
add submenus and submenu actions. Nautilus does something similar to this,
actually.
I've got a working patch for thunar that I will be submitting shortly.
