I'm pretty sure someone will object to you placing "recent entries"
there since its only for preferences, and no more. 

Also, let me be the first to ask why a "recent servers" widget is
needed: Wouldn't it be simpler to create a desktop shortcut if you use
the server often? If the purpose is to accelerate infrequently used
servers shouldn't we instead use type-ahead completion like the
Locations dialogue? Or should we put a recent history widget in both
places? If so, how is it effectively different from desktop shortcut?

Personally I think shortcuts are sufficient. What do you think?
