Funny, I was looking for just the same thing yesterday. There's two options 
available to you: Either as a Panel Applet or as an entry in your K Menu. 

First you need to bring up the panel menu. To access it I find it easiest to 
click on a panel spacer (can appear as a dotted line with an arrow at the 
top). The easiest one to access is the one that separates your taskbar from 
your system tray. On the menu that appears select Panel Menu. To add the 
Recent Documents applet select the Add Applet To Panel option and search for 
Recent Documents. To add the Recent Documents menu option, click Configure 
Panel > Menus on the right side there is a select list with a number of 
optional menus one of them is Recent Documents. Select it and click Apply, 
OK.

I don't know how to change the number of items that appear in that list.


hope this helps
