Ok, though there are tons of editors that do everything else Mousepad 
does too.  Syntax highlighting is useful for editing configuration 
files, shell scripts, etc. and it's super easy to add with 
GtkSourceView, needing very small changes to existing GtkTextView code.

Heh, I just found that branch a little while ago.  The code looks much 
better than the original, but I wonder if it's not spanning into Gedit 
territory a bit, since Gedit from stock is pretty much just a basic 
tabbed GTK+ text editor.  It might be easier to just take Gedit and 
change out the GtkSourceView for a GtkTextView and remove the other 
extra bits that aren't wanted.

Anyway, I will cease working on this and focus my efforts elsewhere. 
Thanks for the info.

Cheers,
