Disable recent documents in Gtk2/Gtk3

Use the following to disable recent documents in Gtk2/Gtk3:

echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' | tee -a $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' | tee -a $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

1 2	echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' \| tee -a $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' \| tee -a $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

The ugly part is that there is no way one can disable ‘Recently Used’ in the GtkFileChooser dialog box.
