I hadn't even noticed the Recent Documents item in the places menu
until you mentioned it, and have never had it up when other people were
in the room. I think the difference between the two is not keeping
track of the documents as much as making them very visible to everyone
in the room, even when the person isn't looking for recent documents,
but opening a program or adding/switching workspaces. I'm not sure how
important this is, but something like a way for the user to pin it
closed would make sense. If the user pins it closed, the Documents
menu will stay that way when the Overlay is activated until it is
pinned open. Also, this could theorhetically let users manage a wider
variety of pluggable menus if we were to implement such a thing.

For example, many people would like to remove the "recents documents"
because of privacy issues, since they are showed up so clearly that
everyone will know what were you doing before in your comp. Maybe they
would like to replace it with some other gadget. The recent documents are all viewable anyway via the Places-->Recent Documents menu. While it makes sense to let people delete items from the list if they want, but I don't think we need to be so concerned with privacy that we don't show the list at all. Recent documents are already tracked _anyway_ (see ~/.recently-used and ~/.recently-used.xbel) and if people are concerned about privacy then they should turn off the tracking at the source and not just complain about an interface to view their tracks.
