Let me take this opportunity to ask about the state of the
recently-used spec. I was going to implement support for
~/.recently-used in GIMP lately but I was told that the spec is
considered broken and is about to be replaced soon anyway. Now your
mail makes me think that it will continued to be used for quite a
while. Is that right?
