Done in SVN 1943.
Geany now adds the file also to GTK's recent files list everytime the
file is added to Geany's recent files list. I tested the places plugin
and it seems to work fine. It even opens the file again with Geany if I
select it in the plugin.
The only sad thing is, it works only with GTK >= 2.10.
