The basic architecture of the m_zone is that there are three columns,
each of which are filled with tiles.

The calender/todo information is read from the Evolution Data Server.

The recent files pane is read from the GTK+ Recent Documents framework,
which uses the Freedesktop desktop bookmark spec[1].

The social panel is read from Mojito[2].

If you want your application to add documents to the middle pane then
you want to look at the GtkRecentManager object in GTK+, or [1] if you
are not using GTK+.
