Bug description:
  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.
