our default is to not have a xfce-applications.menu in the home folder. his tests with creating new users lead me to believe the problem is in the home folder, so we can probably eliminate the /etc/xdg/menus.

still leaves $HOME/.config/menus though. and also ~/.local/share/desktop-directories as well, potentially anyway.
Observations:
The classical Application menu (added) to the panel did not reflect changes made to xfce-applications.menu
immediately. Whereas the right-click Application menu does.
Only after logout/login missing categories where also observed within classical application menu.

That is not what happens here. The Applications menu is correct for both the desktop right-click and the panel-installed one after logout/login and reboot.
