doubtful.  a text editor isn't really "core" in xfce-land.

yeah, this is a definite goodie.  it's just somewhat coincidental that 
we only have panel plugins in there right now (though, IIRC, isn't 
xfce4-artwork in there too?).  actually, the only reason why xfmedia 
isn't in xfce-goodies is because i'm a control freak.

looks cool.  starts up way faster than gedit ^_~.  bunch of compile 
warnings though.  i don't think i18n is going to work properly until 
that's fixed.  probably want to add benny's debug macro to m4/ and to 
configure.ac.

then you can replace the file selector with XfceFileChooser, and the 
about box with XfceAboutDialog (or whatever it's called).  maybe add a 
toolbar?

and of course, you have to rename it to 'xfpad'.  hehe, j/k.
