Description Pierre Sanon 2007-08-08 16:12:41 UTC 
Now that the gtkrecentmanager.h is part of gtk it is time to add the recently used  app functionality in libgnome.

The patch is minimal and should be integrated so that all gnome users can enjoy this long overdue feature.

I also filed a similar bug for inclusion of this functionality in gnome-panel

Comment 3 Philipp Kern 2007-09-02 11:52:16 UTC 
So I will ask again here. Vincent, is there still speaking something from your side against the merge of this patch, which needs to be fixed first? (As this is basically the same patch like #379322, just with the egg parts stripped.)
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2007-09-02 15:14:40 UTC 
See my comment in the panel bug. Basically, we don't care about gnome-desktop that much since it will get deprecated.
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2007-12-06 11:58:35 UTC 
What is the state of this one?

Thanks

This is the sort of thing that zeitgeist has been made for (if it's actually useful, not sure). Reassigning to gnome-shell as it's where we launch applications from.
Comment 7 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-06-20 17:34:46 UTC 
We already keep application usage data with our own shell-app-usage. Maybe some day we will switch this to Zeitgeist, now that it's part of the platform itself. I've said before that I think the out-of-band stack is a bad idea (libnotify vs. GtkStatusArea, think of what GtkNotification would have done), so I still think it's good at some level to get Zeitgeist integration into GTK+ somehow. I mean, we already have Tracker integration...
Comment 8 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-08-22 19:00:18 UTC 
I think this is old enough, and fixed enough.
