Files that are whitelisted are clearly marked in the BleachBit log.
* Specific to Linux
o Delete recent documents in GNOME 2.28 -- 2.30 (e.g., Ubuntu Karmic Kaola, Lucid Lynx, Fedora 13).
o Use GTK+ Recent Manager to purge recent documents list.
o Support Thunderbird 3 as found on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04.
