> ln -s /dev/null ~/.recently-used.xbel

Nope, does not work on 7.10, link gets replaced with a regular file as soon as some document is opened.

Another way is to soft link to /dev/null. This works in more cases, for example when the program expects to be able to write to the file. Try:

rm ~/.recently-used.xbel
ln -s /dev/null ~/.recently-used.xbel
