While on the subject of egg-recent, I noticed a bug yesterday that causes file
descriptor leaks:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151767

basically, if a users home directory is on nfs, and locking isn't quite working,
egg-recent never closes the file descriptor. I got to about 30 leaked
descriptors in galeon yesterday.

Probably both fixes should be pushed to libegg at the same time.
