How do I edit menus in XFCE 4.6 svn?

I'm used to something like the OB/PekWM menu system where I can just have links to commands, where this seems to use the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications (if I understand correctly). Is there a way I can manually edit the menu to only include the limited list of entries I require? I've gone into the above-mentioned folder and slimmed it down a bit, but it'd be nice if I could put things in the order *I* want them in, in the FOLDERS I want them in. As well as have links to commonly-used documents that don't HAVE a .desktop file.

ALSO, is there a way I can get my applications menu on a desktop right-click again? I can get it as a submenu of the regular desktop menu, but there used to be an option for REPLACING that desktop menu.

If you disable desktop icons, the application menu will begin popping up when you right click the desktop, but I'm not exactly sure how to truly edit the application menu.

Well, that's halfway there. I thought I had already done that, but turns out, I just don't HAVE any icons, So I tricked myself.

That's awesome, thanks.

Go to Settings > Desktop Preferences > Behavior and check Show desktop menu on right click

Thanks, but we already cleared that part up. I had done that, but the problem was I didn't have "No Icons" selected in that same dialog. Thanks Anyway.
