Integrating Recent Documents and Zeitgeist

[augias]

It seems very logical to me for recent documents to have a tidy and useful relationship with zeitgeist. Folders, bookmarks and launchers benefit from each other. These are just some ideas for use and layout and I believe wouldn't call for separate bug reports, I hope.

First, I imagine recent documents' context menu, or even left click, could include a launcher for its own Journal, as folders and launchers already have with the zeitgeist helper on. This journal's interface could have more features in it like launching the shown recent files. (would be cool with zeitgeist helper's journals in general)

This recent documents Journal window could be something like a miniature, simplified gnome-activity-journal (a docky-activity-journal) but more in tune with what's already on docky; showing the data already displayed by the current Journal and organized by application (Tricky to figure out which. I think they should be a few predetermined and configurable in gconf). Attached is a funny little mockup i doodled in a hurry:

I don't know what you guys think, but this could tie in with bug 514541 where an recent documents static icon would make sense as it might launch this helper.

Hope this feature request isn't too much of a whopper...
