Bug Description

Hi, I've read the source code of eog and found that the feature of keeping recently used files list was actually done in its source code (eog-window.c). It uses gtk_recent_manager to do this.
So instead of disabling the feature by deleting the recently-used.xbel file, could it be an option in the preferences dialog of eog to be able to enable or disable this feature? I'm willing to provide the code since it's not too complicated.

Andrew suggested me to report a bug: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/239833

By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with eog 3.4.2
Although I came across this problem in eog 3.4.2, I found that the problem existed in 3.8.2 in Trusty as well.

I'll try to provide a patch as soon as possible.

I'm sorry I'm new here. I can't get the branch using 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/eog'. Do you use bzr for version control? Or do you accept patch file from other subversion system, say, svn? Thanks.
