   Both fbpanel and xfce4-panel use an image for their "launchers". If you want
text instead of a picture, you'll have to create it. Concerning
xfce4-panel, you don't need
menu plugin: just create a normal launcher, then right-click and
choose "Properties". At the gui left side there'll be a pane - click
the plus and it'll create another launcher below the original,
organizing them on a menu. From the second launcher on, they appear
menu-like ( an icon with text beside). The very first ( the "head")
uses just the icon, though.

   Could you clarify, perhaps with a screenshot ?
