Hi Michael,
first of all thanks for the proposal of including gedit in the core
moduleset.
My opinion is still pretty much the same as the one I wrote in that old
mail you linked, so I would be happy to rename back to "Text Editor" in the
desktop file. For the moment consider this my personal opinion, before
making the change I want to check with Sèbastien and Nacho.
Ciao,
Paolo
