Bug Description

I noticed this one on mahara.org. When you suspend a user, their Pages are no longer accessible (going to one gives you an "access denied" error). BUT, they still show up in the "Latest Pages" block.

The data in the newviews block comes from view_search(), a function which is meant to return only views that the specified user has access to. So, it would probably make the most sense to add a filter there to prevent the inclusion of views from suspended users, since the user does not have access to them.

On the other hand, would this cause performance issues? Adding one more table to the already-costly latest views query?

Given how touchy the view_search() method is, and that this is a fairly minor bug, it's probably best not to backport this one.
