Bleachbit not cleaning up gedit logs properly

Running on any linux distro...

~/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/gedit still shows list of the most recent search terms on the computer, even after a Bleachbit scrubbing. So if I had opened the source text for an online gambling website and searched $true_value=? on the source text to try and identify a weakness, suddenly anybody going through my computer can see what I've been up to.

Should be easy to scrub, can we add it to the next release?

Which version of Gedit? Which version of BleachBit? Which Linux distro?

It's happened a few times across distros as I borrowed others' computers to test - but at the moment, Bleachbit 0.8, gedit 2.30 and Ubuntu 10.04

Now I remember... In recent versions of Gedit (definitely gedit 3.2.5 and I think also gedit 2.x), the most-recently-used list is shared with other apps, so in BleachBit click System - Recent Documents. This cleans a file called ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
