Feature Request: Add a new Preference to remove the Mousepad suffix from the Window Title

Xfce4 Window Buttons in an Xfce4 Panel contain an Icon at the left of each Button, indicating which Application is running in the Window, so that suffixes like " - Mousepad" or " - Terminal" or " - Thunar" at the end of Window Titles only duplicate what the Icons already show.

The suffix " - Terminal" can be removed from xfce4-terminal Window Titles by changing the "Initial Title" in xfce4-terminal Preferences (https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/4.20/usage#changing_the_terminal_title).

The suffix " - Thunar" can be removed from Thunar Window Titles using the Xfce4 Settings Editor to add a new Thunar Property "/misc-window-title-style", Type "String", Value either "THUNAR_WINDOW_TITLE_STYLE_FULL_PATH_WITHOUT_THUNAR_SUFFIX" or "THUNAR_WINDOW_TITLE_STYLE_FOLDER_NAME_WITHOUT_THUNAR_SUFFIX" + (https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings).

This Feature Request is to add a new Preference in Mousepad to remove the " - Mousepad" suffix from Mousepad Window Titles, the same as is already possible with xfce4-terminal and Thunar.
