Bug Description

Find has been know to ignore js because its mime-type is application/javascript. The bzr open feature also ignores js files. The tools ignore files that are assumed that gedit cannot open.

There are two classes of mime-types that must be handled:
    * Those ending in +xml, like application/rdf+xml
    * Those that are application data that are also text, like application/javascript

The first kind can be supported using a fuzzy match. The second need a list of known exceptions. Since this problem is common to several gdp plugins, a common helper, is_editable(mime-type), would work.
