Hi everybody,

I just installed Slackware 10.0 with Gnome 2.6 and have a question about
the "Recent Documents" submenu. How do I clean the recent documents?

Thx in advance,
ahey.

If I remember right, there's a hidden directory in your home directory
to clear. It may be .recently-used/ (do an ls -a to see it), but I'm
using Freerock Gnome, so I'm not certain on that.

Just open a dozen or so non-pr0n documents, they will push the
embarrassing items off the list.

As an exercise, work out how to open documents without having them appear
in the documents list at all.

There's probably a more elegant way of doing it, but you could try this:

rm .recently-used && killall gnome-panel
