Problem description: 

Libreoffice is a office suite and happens to be a frequently used one. There are several components like Writer, Presentation, Calc etc. The Current MRU of 10 documents is not at all enough for all kind of documents recently used.

My use is limited to only three components Writer, Calc and Presentation and still I find the MRU almost useless as I shuffle among documents, sheets, slides. When I open Writer, MRU features items of type spreadsheet and presentation and that's not expected.

A better MRU system can do great.

If you want to retain the solidarity look of the office suite as every component does have all features, provide MRU for all in a hierarchical fashion or still better a full screen MRU selector.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open and close documents 
2. MRU will fill up
3. Older entries of all kinds will get replaced.

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:
