Remove Logout/Help/About from XFCE4-panel?
More of an autism thingy than a real issue, but is it possible to remove those options from the right-click panel submenu?

Re: Remove Logout/Help/About from XFCE4-panel?
Some info here:
https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
add:
I'd probably go for the option of copying the default menu to my local user and change in panel settings to use the local modified menu. All to keep installed files as they are.

That works for the application menu, but not for the panel menu. Dunno, maybe it's hard coded.

Shouldn't it work when you edit the according .desktop files?

It's hardcoded. Check out panel-window.c around line 3000 from the xfce4-panel source code. You'd have to modify the code and rebuild the package to remove it.

Re: Remove Logout/Help/About from XFCE4-panel?
I just tested following: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-m … _menu_file
Create "menus" folder under your users ".config" folder
Copy /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to the newly created menus folder.
In the copied file, remove the lines in first "Layout" section for: xfce4-about.desktop and xfce4-session-logout.desktop
Seems to work fine!
To temporarily revert, rename the new file.
To permanently revert, remove the new file.

AFAIU (the link I posted earlier) it can be masked by dropping edited (NoDisplay=true) .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications.

Maybe i'm wrong, but isn't OP referring to right-clicking the xfce4-panel, then under the Panel submenu:
OP, you need to post a screenshot of what you're talking about.
