Hopefully. I'm planning on upgrading to slack 13.1 which, according
to documents, uses 4.4.3

Thanks for the input, there is no /usr/share/apps/RecentDocuments
on my system. Running 'locate -i recentdocuments' I get the
following:
tim@bart:/usr/share/apps$ locate -i recentdocuments
/home/tim/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments
/usr/lib/kde4/krunner_recentdocuments.so
/usr/share/kde4/services/recentdocuments.desktop
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk/RecentDocuments.html
none seem to offer any solution and show (relatively) ancient
mtimes.
I hope to see a time when a year-old desktop is not considered
old. :0)
I'll mark this up to a trivial problem which is probably rectified
when I reboot.
thanks
