Re: [evince] feature: recent documents (Ubuntu 16, Evince 3.18.2)

Interesting, but when I try that, I get a rather deserted "Recent Documents" window ... (plus a toolbar button to "open an existing document", which opens a file browser).

And even when I then select a document (via that file browser), although the document is opened, that "Recent Documents" window remains blank.

When you open Evince without a document, it should show a set of
thumbnails with the recent documents opened (21, IIRC).

That should be already present in Evince 3.18.
