I agree that it is a fairly small number, although I don't know whether 24 is a good idea for people with small screens. > If a default is not OK, then perhaps something else could be changed to > allow my local changes to stick. Ideally, I guess, both could be true > :-) If you change the user .xml files, not the global ones, the changes will stick. Did you try that? I guess that making the global .xml files modifiable means marking the complete tree as conffiles. What do people think about that? I'm a little wary because we might end up getting wierd behaviour between upstream version upgrades, and I don't know if we are ready to support that sort of thing yet. > Here is a patch to increase the "recent files" to 24: Well, I'm afraid marking the bug as 'patch' is cheating - your patch can't be applied to the source since these files are generated :( Thanks, though, for showing us where that entry is to be found within the xml - that does help.
