I have been using gedit as a programming text editor for a while…

I would like to increase the number of recently opened files from 5 to 10…

I checked the gedit preferences and the gconf-editor gedit options but there was nothing there related to the recently opened file list.

Where can I change this setting?

    The configuration setting is in /schemas/apps/gedit-2/preferences/ui/recents/max_recents according to http://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/gconf-docs/C/gedit.html.

    According to OP the setting can successfully be changed by issuing the command gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/gedit-2/preferences/ui/recents/max_recents 10 (Notice: /schemas is removed!)
