Bug Description

I can't find a button to clean the list of "recent used files" in unity.
I think to clean the list is a very important function.
cheers

----------------------------------

Desired Solution:
- Add 'activity-log-manager' to System Settings
- see wireframes in https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?hl=en_GB

I think the Recently Used Files function is *very* creepy.

Thankfully, installing Activity Log Monitor and disabling logging fixes this, but I agree with the defect: this is a pretty important missing feature.

Given that pretty cool interface and features of Activity Log Monitor, it would be pretty awesome if it could be integrated into Ubuntu in a pleasant way. :)
