Displaying the Recently Used Documents list is handled by any widget
implementing the <a class="link" href="GtkRecentChooser.html" title="GtkRecentChooser"><span class="type">GtkRecentChooser</span></a> interface. These widgets also handle
the sorting and filtering of the list; they will create their own
<a class="link" href="GtkRecentManager.html" title="GtkRecentManager"><span class="type">GtkRecentManager</span></a> objects by default:
