Weird.  I'll work on it.

Heh.  I'll figure it out.

No, it's a different thing.  I've got this love for following a 
specification of some sort -- it gives me less responsibility.  :)  So, 
I keep up with stuff like this (mostly at freedesktop.org).  They've got 
a specification for putting opened files into a per-user list (I think 
at ~/.recently-used) so that a DE or something can show the user the 
list of recently opened files from all programs.

I've dealt with it before.  I'll take the mantle for the job.

Yeah, I just want to formalize it.  It means that this next stable 
release will be 0.4.0 and our work on new features will be the 0.5 branch.

Nope.  They are pre-0.3.0, and were thrown together by the previous 
maintainers.  They are cool though.
