GNOME Menu Question

I’m running openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME, and I was just wondering if there was a way to clear or disable the list of recent applications in slab. For documents it’s easy (right-click and select a menu item), but I can’t seem to find any way to clear the list of recently used applications, or even better, to disable recent applications entirely.

Any help would be appreciated. =)

Visible menu objects are controlled through ‘/desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/lock-down/showable_file_types’ in the Gnome Configuration Editor. Removing “1” will remove recent applications.
