This i can gladly do, though looking at the patches they might be called
'intrusive'. The meat of those patches is a new lib (for tracking recently used)
but there is also a part which rewrites some of the application launching code,
which ofcource is anything but trivial .. if it would ever break, there would be
no desktop worth mentioning for the end users :-)

For the time being i've replaced the recently used with places, but i'll file
the bugs with the RFE's, and see how it floats.. if there accepted i'll build it
so that it has both recently used and places (seeing how nautilus has this as a
prominent thing too, we might as well include it)

> Installing yelp didnt make a difference. 

Glad to hear in comment #27 it did :-) Requires and build requires still need a
lot of spit and polish, i'm basing my work on the original spec and it still
needs a good scrubbing :-)

Yelp and beagle are definatly 2 packages that will make the requires list,
however I'm still weighing if i should expand the requires to include openoffice
writer/impress/calc, firefox and evolution ... it comes hardcoded with a list of
pre-set 'favorite applications' and it would be a shame to have this menu be
empty (ie .desktop files not found for those apps).. however it might be a (to)
heavy dependency to pull in?

I'll have to ping Jeremy for this, no docs make any mention of such
functionality, and where there is a system-install-packages, there's no
uninstall .. Alternativly for the time being i considered patching out those
menu options if we can't provide them with functionality for now

Sorry if i sounded a bit grumpy before, just been a long day :-)
