Here is an initial setup.

The widget is constructed on application launch, preferably by the KOffice 
library.  The first item is always the recent files and the last item is 
always the custom document, if applicable, naturally.
So any extra template groups are added in between.

Please look at the class hierarchy; we can reuse the recent and the 
template widgets since they are so similar.  I just added the different 
texts in the subclasses.

I always extend from the UI file and add controller code (button handlers 
and text-setting code etc) in that class.  I think its cleaner, but if 
you have big problems with it, I won't object  :)

I added a class named; KoCustomDocumentCreator as a common interface for 
applications to use to register a widget that specifies specific document 
details.
Think the dialog in Krita you get after selecting 'Empty document'.
That dialog (or one inheriting from it) would also inherit from 
KoCustomDocumentCreator and implement the methods for things like 
creating an empty document to open, or to set the kconfig instance for 
persistence reasons.

Things not relevant about the code;  but important anyway.
* we need icons that make more sense then any suggestions I made so far.
Icons for Recent files, or the Open Existing File button come to mind.
* having different sized text under the icons and the buttons means its 
possible to get 'jumping' UIs.  This may take some tweaking at the end to 
fix.

I hope you can use this, feel free to rename etc.
