Jaap, you're the man!  Zim just keeps getting better and better.  I
use it every day and am using it for all of my university notes,
tasks, projects, etc.  It's so great to have everything in one place,
stored as plain text, and it's so much better than using a plain
editor on plain files.  Org-mode is cool, but for a non-emacs user,
it's just a bit much.  Zim is just right.

It's funny: I hacked up the recent pages pathbar to show only the last
12 pages and display them in alphabetical order, and then when I
pulled your updates, you'd already done most of it, except much
better.  :)  Here's my patch against rev498.  I think that sorting
alphabetically works better for the Recent Pages mode, because if you
switch back and forth between a few pages, as I often do, they don't
jump around in the bar--so it acts like a "smart" tab bar,
automatically removing pages you haven't accessed in a while, but
keeping those you do often access in the same spot for easy access.
