Ah, yes. That was the problem (not installed in the search path). I was
expecting the dropped file to be opened in the same window (like gvim).
But since there seems to be no standard along these lines, whatever you
judge best should be fine.

Maybe a xfce_warning() dialog with strerror(ENOENT) would helpful if
mousepad cannot be found in the search path when dropping a file. Or
better yet, instead of doing an execp on "mousepad", do an exec on
argv[0], that way it will always find mousepad even if not in the search
path.
