Chris Wilson (notgary) has assigned this bug to you for nautilus in ubuntu:

Hi

Shorcuts are one of the three main Gnome Menus. Within  the Shortcuts
Menu, "Recent Documents" points to the last ten recently opened files as
they appear in /home/user/.recently-used.xbel. They do appear in this
xbel file in reverse order, where the most recent file is the last of
the document.

Problem to solve is this one:  many times, after documents land on the
desktop or in the download folder, user opens them and then stores them
in another place or delete them. But, they are recorded by xbel as being
placed on the desktop where they indeed were last opened. This way,
quite frequently, among the ten displayed items, href information is
invalid and points to unexisting bookmarks. This is frustrating because
the only choice offered to the user is to fully delete the list. After
that, the user loses confidence in this list and forgets to use it.

I think the user should be provided a fully working list: he should
have, for exemple, the possibility by pressing a button to refresh the
list. This would allow him to check if the href links of the bookmarks
are still valid and, if not, it would erase the invalid bookmarks.

Another way to implement this feature would be to check periodically the
validity of href links in the "recent documents" file.
