Well, Bennedikt Meurer called himself his debian package xterminal, so
I've kept the name.

I've read on xfce-dev mailing list (i think, or perhaps thunar) that
they didnt want any xfoobar name for their apps.

I'm ok for xfce-terminal because the real name of the soft is Terminal
(with the capital T) and we can't name it Terminal. But I dont
understand why mousepad doesnt fit.

It's not very easy to find.
The tarball is here:
http://erikharrison.net/software/mousepad-0.2.2.tar.gz

But the only way to find it is the mailing list archive, and it seems to
be down atm.

I'll add it to the script.
