I have to say that I like the Recent Documents from Inkscape being listed in my Gnome recent documents list. However, what I didn't expect was that when I cleared Gnome's recent documents that it would also clear the list within Inkscape. Is there any potential way for us to work around this or does this come with getting the integration?
Cheers, Josh
People, Any news on the situation with mirrored win32 builds? There must be a lot of win people like myself who are missing them. Last one was 20 Nov. That's a long time in Inkscape time. Erik

Recently there was a fix in GIMP exactly for this.

Actually this fix is for the reversed issue: clearing the list in GIMP nuked the entire GtkRecentManager, clearing recent lists in every application that uses GtkRecentManager as well. The behaviour exhibited in by Inkscape in Gnome is correct and expected. When you try to clear the list, you get this message:
If you clear the Recent Documents list, you clear the following: • All items from the Places → Recent Documents menu item. • All items from the recent documents list in all applications. <- note this!
We could create our own GtkRecentManager, but: 1. We would have to handle persistence ourselves. 2. Our files wouldn't show up in Gnome's recent list. 3. As I said before this "unexpected effect" is actually expected and useful.
