  recently-used files and most-frequently used files. To activate the

  <app>Dashboard</app> plugin, select

  <guiseq><gui style="menu">gedit</gui><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>

  <gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Dashboard</gui></guiseq>. You will need to restart

The <app>dashboard</app> also includes a <gui>Search</gui> window,

  allowing you to search for files that may not appear in the list of

  files.
