The app menu after clicking on "Forget Recent Files".

SUMMARY
Selecting "Forget Recent Files" menu item in right-click menu of an application in grid view doesn't clean the recent files list, closing then re-opening Kicker is needed to clean recent files list.
Tested on Kate and Gnenview apps icons.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click on an application into Kicker grid with a not empty recent files list 
2. Click on "Forget Recent Files"
3. Right-click again on the same application

OBSERVED RESULT
All recent files are shown, like if he menu item won't work. Closing then re-opening Kicker and right-clicking again on the same application shows an empty recent files list.

EXPECTED RESULT
The list should be empty without having the re-opening Kicker.

Forward-duping to Bug 503840 since that has a more technical description of the problem.
