Well, this issue is more complex, than I thought. The problem is that 
you rely that KRecentFilesAction::items() returns a list with URLs, but 
now it returns a string that has the URL in it as well:
nicename [URL]

It is not that simple that I override items() in KRecentFilesAction to 
return the URL, as this method is called in the upper KListAction and 
KSelectAction classes to build the menu, modify the items and so.

So the solutions are:
- revert what I did. I would be sad.
- rewrite KRecentFileAction, so it does not depend on 
KListAction/KSelectAction and does what we want. It is possible, but 
this close to the freeze it is dangerous.
- add a new method to KRecentFileAction called urls() or files() which 
return what you want and you have to use an #ifdef to call the right 
version, if kst should run on KDE 3.4 or lower. I'd prefer this one, 
even if this means some kind of behavioral incompatibility. The new way 
of working is there since July, so I'd assume not too many applications 
relied on items() returning a list of files. If we go this way, I will 
document the change as well.
