min coding example

I'm using the recentmanager to get a list of recent files (and make quicklists out of them, see https://github.com/thirschbuechler/ubuntu-recentquicklists).

My problem is that whenever something gets moved or deleted, no "changed" signal is emitted and therefore the quicklists have dead elements in them.

However, if a file gets accessed or modified it works fine.


Reproduction:
-execute the min-coding-example file in terminal, create file "test" (i.e. on Desktop)
-changing file results in updating
-deleting, renaming or moving it doesn't


Python 3.4.3+, GTK 3.16.7 (according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12541328/python3-how-can-i-find-out-what-version-of-gtk-i-am-using)

(Ubuntu 14.04 x64, Ubuntu 15.10 x64)

As far as I can see GtkRecentManager does not track the resources it references, so this is to be expected. You only get "changed" signals if someone changes the list.

Anyway, not a PyGObject problem, so moving to gtk+.
