What if KDE should bring up a dialog box when it notices an  
application that is not already in the ''most recent used" list being 
used regularly - suggesting that this application should be placed in 
the list?

The dialog could also present a list of those applications already in 
the list with check boxes to allow the user to reduce entries in that 
list should they wish?

The items in this list of applications could be draggeable in order 
that people may set their own preferred order.

Of course, it would need to be worded so not to be quite as aggravating 
as M$'s paperclip ;-)
