Added Mousepad: a simple text editor for XFCE

Just curious, why is another text editor needed?
The only GTK-based text editor on the pre-r1319 CD is Gvim, but it doesn't use the standard GTK+2 text input widget. Mousepad does.

Besides that, Gvim is modal, Mousepad is modeless. We provide modeless terminal-based editors, and used to provide Xedit (part of Xorg) as a modeless GUI-based editor. Since Xedit is no longer on the CD (didn't survive removal of bitmap fonts), I think that Mousepad is a good replacement.
