[Desktop Entry]

Icon=preferences-desktop
Exec=xfce4-settings-manager
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
Categories=DesktopSettings;Settings;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

I see nothing what could generate hundreds of menu entry dupes.

I have heavily configured xfce: keyboard shortcuts, window action, etc
I suppose I have to redo it all with openbox?
(How) Can I replace xfwm4 with openbox and return to xfwm when I am not
happy with it?
