[gutsy] Places->Recent documents does not reflect the content of $HOME/.recently-used.xbel

[Miguel Martinez]

Symptom:
  Places->Recent documents does not update even though one opens several files of different MIME types. This means that if one clears recent documents, it will reman grayed out.

Reproducibility:
  Near 100% on my system, in various languages, although not everybody suffers this bug:

Possible causes:
  As $HOME/.recently-used.xbel is being updated all the time, it is possible that gnome-panel (I'm not sure it's this package) is not reading or parsing properly $HOME/.recently-used.xbel.

What has been attempted:
  I've deleted a remnant .recently-used on my $HOME to see if this was the culprit, but it seems it wasn't. I've also installed more language packs to see if this was a language pack issue. So far I've seen the same in Spanish (Spain), Basque (Spain), English (US) and English (UK).
  I've also made a symlink called .recently-used pointing to .recently-used.xbel to see if the issue was that gnome-panel was reading the old .recently-used instead of the updated .xbel one. It seems it didn't help.
  I'm now trying to see if the issue lies with the existance of two .recently* files.

Thank you for your bug. That's known upstream, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463907

[Ray (ray-redhat-bugs)]

seems to work for me.

Do you have a ~/.recently-used.xbel file? If so, can you attach it?

[sangu (sangu-redhat-bugs)]

Created attachment 161318

Yes.

$rpm -q gnome-panel

This problem still happens in recent rawhide (20070814).
