In the menu you have usually only a few "recent files". If you look
for something little older it would have sense to have special dialog.
(I hate the fact, that most gnome programs have only 5 recent files
in the menu, on the other hand I can understand, that having more
would blow them, so a dedicated dialog would be very good thing.
You can even have 5 items in the menu followed by "More..." entry,
that let you open the dialog...)
