Rep:
I don't have my machine in front of me to check but I think it might be Alacarte -- though I thing XFCE follows (CDE?)* Some standard so others may work.
If I'm wrong then reply and if nobody else replies I'll fire my system up and let you. Know what I use.
*I know, I've been using XFCE for a few years so ought to know.
I don't know how sophisticated you want to get with the editing, but I add applications to the "All" menu like this:
(1) Create a desktop launcher for your application the normal way - right click on a blank area of the desktop, then select "Create Launcher", and fill in the details.
(2) Copy or move the new launcher from your $HOME/Desktop directory to the /usr/share/applications directory. The file for your launcher will be what you named it, plus a ".desktop" extension.
This is very basic "editing", if you'd even call it that. But if this happens to be what you are wanting to do, this is a way to accomplish it.
