Hi,
I find it annoying having same items listed in multiple menus, e.g.

- Accessories - Bulk Rename
                 Orage Globaltime
                 Terminal
                 Thunar File Manager
                 Help

- Office - Orage Globaltime

- System - Bulk Rename
            Terminal
            Thunar File Manager

- Applications Menu - Help

How can I edit the menus ?
Also, how to rename Applications Menu to e.g. just Menu as it would better
reflect applications and system (utilities) components ?

I started looking at this a while ago, this is incomplete but could get you started.

I am sure there was a page in the xfce wiki about customising menus.

What I found is you start by right clicking on the application menu and show properties where you can change from default to custom file menu - ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu matches the default and is an xml file.

There is also some info that comes from the applications desktop files.
I think the categories field links them to the matching category entries in the menu file. This is where newly installed apps just show up.

Look in ~/.local/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applications for the *.desktop files - I believe the home dir versions override the /usr ones but haven't looked at what gets overwritten by reinstall etc.
