As I already mentioned above the recently used files list is rewritten when quitting the last level of the GTK main loop, that is gtk_main_loop_level reaches 0. However the write happens only if the recent manager singleton exists which appears to be created lazily on the first invocation of GtkFileChooser. This allows for a simple but ugly workaround, namely using the depreceated GtkFileSelection instead. The code is still in vim, it is activated by commenting out the USE_FILE_CHOOSER define in src/gui_gtk.c. I have tested this with vim 7.1-056 in Ubuntu and this has gone into vim 7.2 upstream, see patch 7.2b.026.
