Public bug reported:
Symptom:
Places->Recent documents does not update even though one opens several files
of different MIME types. This means that if one clears recent documents, it
will reman grayed out.
Reproducibility:
Near 100% on my system, in various languages, although not everybody suffers
this bug:
Possible causes:
As $HOME/.recently-used.xbel is being updated all the time, it is possible
that gnome-panel (I'm not sure it's this package) is not reading or parsing
properly $HOME/.recently-used.xbel.
What has been attempted:
I've deleted a remnant .recently-used on my $HOME to see if this was the
culprit, but it seems it wasn't. I've also installed more language packs to see
if this was a language pack issue. So far I've seen the same in Spanish
(Spain), Basque (Spain), English (US) and English (UK).
I've also made a symlink called .recently-used pointing to
.recently-used.xbel to see if the issue was that gnome-panel was reading the
old .recently-used instead of the updated .xbel one. It seems it didn't help.
I'm now trying to see if the issue lies with the existance of two .recently*
files.
