xmenu is more a desktop menu à la fvwm right-click menu, it's not a dmenu alternative.

For dmenu, I have my own alternative called xprompt.

The main problem with dmenu are nested instances. Suppose you have bound Alt+space to a general run-commands dmenu script. It will open dmenu and you can select, for example, "man" to open a manual. Selecting it will in turn open a new dmenu instance prompting for the manual to open.
With xprompt, you can have sub-menus in the same xprompt instance.

This video illustrates what I'm trying to say.
Xprompt can even do file completion (at the final of the video, when I use the "open" command on SICP.pdf)
