I did this sometime last year, but I didn't have CVS access and
no-one wanted to test it or check it in.

It's even easier now with DCOP, and makes a great addition to
kfiledialog.

The only things you needed to do in you app went something like
this:

When you created your 'File' menu, you would say something
like KRecentFiles::addMenu(&fileMenu);

A menu item called 'Open Recent' would be added to your file
menu, with a submenu which was automagically populated from
the list of recent files (stored centrally.)

When you opened a file for the user, you called:
KRecentFiles::add(KURL);

This would add your filename to the central store, remove any
duplicates, then add it to the top of your 'Open Recent' menu.

Shall I write it again ?
