sorry, I must be asleep at the terminal.

this code should already work - if it doesn't, then it might be a bug in
the GtkRecentAction code (not propagating the filter property change to
the proxies). are you sure you're saving the "recent connections" under
the "vinagre" group? the group name is case-sensitive.

also, for these cases, you should filter on the application name, not on
the group (that was a problem of the old EggRecent code: now we save
more meta-data). the application name used is either set by you or is
the same string returned by g_get_application_name().

if everything fails, could you open a bug with some real code, so I can
have a look at it?

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
