Re: gnome-recent, ready to rock

I think this is a great thing, and I want to see it in GNOME as soon as
possible. But I think it may be too late for this release, at least for
putting it in libgnome. I would think putting it in the ditem lib is
pretty reasonable.

yeah, yeah.

Hopefully it won't be. There are a lot of small changes like this that I
think we can roll in and roll out a release pretty quickly.

That seems reasonable. The panel is going to need to depend on this
anyway if its to be very useful.
