When I click on the Clear recent documents item in the GNOME menu, it clears the list of recently used documents (as expected). How can I replicate this functionality from the command line?

In Ubuntu Gnome, the recent documents are stored in ~/.recently-used.xbel. You can rm that file, but Gnome Panel will still show the list. There's got to be a better way to get the panel to refresh but killall gnome-panel will work.
rm ~/.recently-used.xbel killall gnome-panel
