Bug Description

The ghastly "notepad" editor from wine installs itself as a default editor in xubuntu 15.04.

I mean it's surely a fine copy of the MS notepad, but that one is the very first thing i replace on a newly set up windows machine, also, even before switching of the horrible system sounds.

While I'd recommend to just remove it from the installation, it certainly should not become the system default.

This seems to be an old problem, see for example here:
