The xfce menu is the wrong one you've started with. It is too specific.
You have to use an applications.menu. It is more unique.
The other problem with your menu is that you have .desktop entries. A
unique menu should work without them.
Attached is my first test menu based on Ubuntus applications.menu with
some parts from openSuse. I have to test it on other distributions but
on Debian it works fine. Should work on Fedora, too because their
applications.menu is similar.
But Mageia/Mandriva for example has own directory named files besides of
the xdg specification, so there is much work to support such
distributions.

fvwm-menu-desktop supports icons by default.
