Closed as this is not a gnome-panel bug, but rather application specific. Applications that do not clear their recent document lists need to be ported to the new GtkRecentManager API.
** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- "Clear Recent Documents" clears only the list in the gnome panel but not other application's lists as expected https://launchpad.net/bugs/75980 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
