yes... enable it in settings. Or do you want to edit the menu?

Are you saying you want the desktop menu to be different than the taskbar menu? There may be an easier way, but this is how I do it:

$ cp ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/main.xml
> right click the taskbar menu
> select "Properties"
> set "Use custom menu file:" to /home/USERNAME/.config/xfce4/desktop/main.xml

main.xml will then control the taskbar menu, and menu.xml will control the desktop menu. You can edit them via the menu editor.
