"Recent Documents" point frequently to invalid links

Bug description:
Hi
Shorcuts are one of the three main Gnome Menus. Within the Shortcuts
Menu, "Recent Documents" points to the last ten recently opened files
as they appear in /home/user/.recently-used.xbel. They do appear in
this xbel file in reverse order, where the most recent file is the
last of the document.
Problem to solve is this one: many times, after documents land on the
desktop or in the download folder, user opens them and then stores
them in another place or delete them. But, they are recorded by xbel
as being placed on the desktop where they indeed were last opened.
This way, quite frequently, among the ten displayed items, href
information is invalid and points to unexisting bookmarks. This is
frustrating because the only choice offered to the user is to fully
delete the list. After that, the user loses confidence in this list
and forgets to use it.
I think the user should be provided a fully working list: he should
have, for exemple, the possibility by pressing a button to refresh the
list. This would allow him to check if the href links of the bookmarks
are still valid and, if not, it would erase the invalid bookmarks.
Another way to implement this feature would be to check periodically
the validity of href links in the "recent documents" file.
