Description Bastien Nocera 2013-02-03 00:57:51 UTC 
GtkRecentManager doesn't handle the deletion of ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel properly. Deleting the file doesn't trigger a changed signal, so gvfsd-recent doesn't empty itself, and dirtying recent:/// would cause gvsfd-recent to write down what it thought was the current recent-files, effectively restoring the recently-used.xbel file from memory.

Fixed in master.

    recent-manager: Emit ::changed on file deletion
    
    This will clear out the list of recently used files, and will allow GVFS
    to handle this case.
