Feature Request: GUI Menu Editor That Actually Works and is Actively M

Feature Request: GUI Menu Editor That Actually Works and is Actively Maintained

Running XFCE4.10 Arch Linux. I've had off and on different GUI menu editors have limited to no functionality to only be later broken by updates.

Is it possible to implement a GUI menu editor that just works with 100% accuracy and stays working after updates?

If not, is it possible to have a simple, same across the board, single menu.conf file that lists all info regarding everything related to adding or removing menu items in a readable format that could be edited with a gui text editor?

As a former Gnome 2x series user who has made the switch to xfce, this is the feature I mostly miss from Gnome that xfce is lacking...

Filed a feature request https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9305

Thanks, Jeff
