Description Paolo Bacchilega 2008-01-06 15:15:41 UTC 
Some day ago I noticed a slow down of some applications, such as gedit and file-roller, during the start up time or after their windows got focused.
After deleting the .recently-used.xbel file, which was 3.4 MB, the same applications start up much faster, so I think we should avoid to let that file to grow with no limit.

dupe of 488507, which already contains my comments about it and a plausible way to fix it in the desktop and not in gtk+.

I like the description, though, so I'll change bug 488507 :-)
