14 Both of these worked with the previous xfce versions. I would be
15 tempted to remove the version you installed outside of portage, emerge
16 the masked version and you will have a menu editor. Also, the system
17 menu will be included that has links to all applications that support
18 it.
19 You will of course then benefit from portage's version control for when
20 the final version is released.

22 The menumaker package I mentioned is useful to create a default menu
23 (not just for xfce) even if you don't go down the above path. It will
24 require a little manual adjustment to the menu to get it customised
25 fully afterwards though.
