Indeed. But this shouldn't be that way, there should be some collaboration
among desktop managers. Not something relevant here, though.

For the file manager it doesn't matter, since thunar is rightly pulled
as a dependency and is tightly associated with xfce.

That's equally bad. What about 'xterm -e vi' ;-). This should certainly
be reported upstream.
My personal opinion would be to add mousepad and Terminal Requires to
the panel in the mean time.

That's strange. Why is it needed? It's only a bunch of autoconf
macros... For which package is this needed?
