	I would prefer to push forward.  Please use the glib keyfile
mechanism and simply disable this new feature for a gtk+ less than 2.6.x.
That is, you can use gtk+ >= 2.6.x features as long as the code still
works with gtk+ 2.4.x (with maybe some disabled functionality).  At some
point I'm going to drop the gtk+ 2.4.x requirement, especially since
debian etch is now using 2.8.x.

	Yes, please make the recent file list global, otherwise it will
not behave like most programs out there already (and gschem has enough of
those quirks already).
