This has happened to me before too.I found out that going into /home/.cache/sessions and deleting the files that you find there and restarting xfce fixes the problem (Well it did for me).I hope it does for you.
Did you perhaps accidentally delete the menu by right-clicking and clicking on 'Remove from panel'? If so, right-click and click 'Add to panel', selecting the Desktop Menu when the window 'Add to panel' comes up.
Thanks for your replies, I did try these things but the xfce menu is not in the list with possible items to add to the panel.
Maybe I need to emerge some package to get the menu of xfce but can't find which.
May we know what other items are in the list !
Kindly list them here:
I have the same problems. Menu has disappeared from panel, but i can start it by right-clicking from desktop.

There seems to be a serious problem, I checked my Panel right click , Xfce menu was clearly mentioned there. anyway check you out the following threads, and see if that helps you:

yes, thank you, I'll try this one as soon as I can.
I'll let you know if it worked.
edit: this worked for me, thank you.
Still, I don't realy see why it did install the menu at first without the line in make.conf and then it just vanished after some months.
