[Usability]recent documents in panel

[James Willcox <jwillcox cs indiana edu>]

Hi all,

I'm putting together a patch that uses my recent-files code in the
panel.  Here's what it looks like so far:

I would like to know what the usability crowd thinks about where this
menu should go, how it should look, etc.  I think it would also be cool
to have a "recent applications" menu as well (I used this all the time
back when I had a mac).

Thanks,
James
