The "Clear list" is not my work, I am only re-using the File -> Recent
Documents code that has that now :-)

The code in the Start Center actually duplicates most of the code that I
have reused instead of duplicating, see:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/framework/source/services/backingwindow.cxx#n283

Would be better to re-use the code even in the Start Center - I've
created an Easy hack for that:

Actually, this (and also the tooltip thing) might be done as part of the
GSoC task:

Hopefully somebody will apply - please do encourage good students around
you!

All the best,
Kendy
