This bug occured on Xfce 4.2 and since it is still present in the 4.4,
I submit it.
First, I had a perfect Xfce Menu. I run the "PhotoFiltre" installer
with wine, it adds some entries in the ~/.menu/wine file and
simultaneously, the debian entry menu called "Applications", and entry
from CrossOver Office disappeared from the Xfce Menu. I used wine, and
not crossover, for installing photofiltre ;)

If I remove the "~/.menu/wine" file or replace the accentued
characters, it's ok. I hope this mail will help you to resolve this
bug :$
If you replace the accented characters with utf-8 I assume it works fine
too?
We can ask upstream for you but when I unpacked the file, the xpm file
had an accent in the filename. Given it seems to be trying to parse it
as utf-8, I'd suggest you convert the filename to utf-8 or remove the
accent.
It's possible that the xfce menu system shouldn't be trying to parse it
as utf-8 though. I'll check with upstream later.
Renaming the file is not enough, I have to rename the "title" field too
since it has an accent to ;)
The problem is that wine doesn't write its menu file using UTF-8
encoding. Since other applications can use the same behavior, Xfce
should, at least, ignore the eventually malformed entries and show the
others instead of stopping the file parsing ;)
I don't know if file in ~/.menu have to be wrote using UTF-8 encoding,
but the fact that the entire menu below the "xfce" entry can be
destroyed can be a problem :$
Thanks to you for according your intention in this report ;)
KnuX.
