Bug Description
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/.
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.
