Public bug reported:

First of all, I do not really know whether ths is a PCManFM issue at
all...maybe it's distro-specific enough to blame the individual
packagers...

Minor issue, no big deal.
Reproduction:

- Preferably use LXDE/Openbox (which is the default on Lubuntu here)

- Launch PCManFM

- Type menu:// into the address bar in PCManFm
(You will end up in menu://applications/ .)

- Visit a folder, e. g. "Internet".

- Click RIGHT mouse button, and say "Open With -> Create Launcher on the
panel".

Result:
It does not work.

It complains about "no running instance of xfce4-panel" found.

Well, what we use is lxpanel, not xfce4-panel. These are two entirely
different pairs of socks, or more exactly: they're even mutually
exclusive. AFAIK you cannot (nor should) run them simultaneously.
