Both the edit menu button or the entry on the desktop menu plugin's right click menu fails to edit the menu.xml file if the default one is not user writable (in /etc for example)
This is because it always calls xfce4-menueditor with an argument. If the argument were dropped the menueditor would do as when called from the command line and write over to ~/.config. But if it is told to edit /etc/.. it just silently fails.

A check to see if (dmp->use_default_menu) and then call xfce4-menueditor w/o arguments in the panel plugin fixes it, however that code can be modified in many ways to achieve this effect so I am not attaching a patch.


Reproducible: Always
