Couple of questions

I am using the Whisker Menu on my XFCE desktop (4.14), when I click on the log out button I am presented with a small window offering Log Out, Restart, Shutdown, Suspend, Hibernate, Hybrid Sleep, Switch user, I would like to remove a couple of these options, is this window controlled by the /home/user/.config/xfce4/pane/whiskermenu-9.rc file?

If so can any point me to a man page for the file so I can see what options I can use in the config file please

Re: Couple of questions

I believe it can only be done in a terminal with xfconf. Here is an example although I've never had the desire to change this behaviour so haven't tried it.

Better example:

Re: Couple of questions

You can also use these properties just like the others in that link if you want to remove others:
/shutdown/ShowHybridSleep
/shutdown/ShowSwitchUser
