How to remove gnome documents?

[Steve Ovens]

I have set
Disabled ['gnome-documents.desktop']

Which indeed prevents gnome-documents from displaying in the activities
interface. However, the Nautlius Recent Items do not show up there. I
logged out and back in, I have rebooted, I have reinstalled the Search
Recently Used Files extension and I have tried changing the search order
to:   ['nautilus.desktop', 'gnome-contacts.desktop',
'gnome-documents.desktop']. I can see that I have items when I open "Files"
in my "Recent" Places.

Anyone have any further pointers?
