I agree with that perfectly (as I stated earlier, that Mozilla is doing this also).

I think adding a new menu item will be easy, but that leads us to a new problem: where to store this info, and when to save this info permanently.

This would fit best to a "recent" file, I tried to include earlier (about a year ago) to the CVS, but my implementation wasn't satisfying the one who looked at it at that time.
