I really miss the function from 10.04 where I easily could delete my recently viewed files by a mouse-click. Is it possible to get this feature in Ubuntu 11.04? For example, by adding a right-click function or a simple button on the top right of the recent-list saying "Empty"?

Hello Tomtom, Askubuntu is a Q&A site, not a rant or feature request board. I assumed that you're using Ubuntu 11.04 now and made the question less of a rant. — Lekensteyn, Sep 22 '11 at 09:38

I seem to remember Rick Spencer telling me he had written or was writing such an indicator. As I understood it, it would provide much the same functionality that you have in Firefox. That is to say, you would be able to deactivate logging or delete recent logs. I haven't tried it myself, but you can probably find it in his ppa on launchpad.
