There's SessionClient in libxfcegui4, which offers X11R6 SM support, but 
unfortunately lacks an easy way to change the 
SmRestartCommand/SmCloneCommand, which is basicly what you need for 
MousePad.

Therefore I'd suggest you use the ExoXsessionClient class from libexo 
instead, it does exactly what you need, and mousepad will still start up 
fast (as there's no ping-pong with the session manager on startup).

For a documentation, see:

http://os-cillation.com/documentation/api/libexo/0.2/ExoXsessionClient.html

it even contains exactly the example of a text editor. ;-)

If you don't want to depend on libexo, you can copy the 
exo-xsession-client.[ch] files to your mousepad dir.

HTH,
