We ship the new Gtk release, and we also ship a guy named Boris who will beat the crap out of you if you call two files with the same name.

And if it is? Maybe it was opened an hour ago, and in the meantime you've openend another fourteen documents just for taking a reference from each one to put into that document. Right now, the Recent Documents menu item is based on timestamp, but clamped on the list' size; this is *very* sub-optimal. We define the list on a delta based on the frequency of save/open actions, instead of the time passed - which is what "recent" means. > > But users also don't save their documents with meaningful names; > > That's their problem.

Maybe we should name the files ourselves, and get rid of the entry altogether; this would solve every problem. Please: are you seriously advocating that we put a tutorial in each file-related dialog?
