By default, when I launch Xfce, it uses the menu.xml.hu (or whatever language) file for the menu, hence I see the menu in Hungarian. When I enter the menu editor, suddenly the menu becomes fully English. The editor should bring up the version that is currently active and that corresponds to my language. Or, at least if the edited menu can only be in English, it should only be saved if tell it so, so that I can still quit if I realized that launching the menu editor wasn't intentional, and then my old menu should remain the same.
the code used to define the menu.xml in use is now the same in xfce4-menueditor as xfdesktop should fix this bug
