RecentHubs? (in case we add recentPMs, recentSearches etc)

Is a window really needed for recent hubs? Maybe a menu would be enough (with just the hub name, no
description)...
as to the dupes, I'd update the last accessed time (so if default sort is by last access they move
up to the top once sorting works =), to avoid multiple entries with the same hub.

An upper limit or maximum time from last visit isn't needed?

It would also be nice to have a "session" ability, so that the recent hubs have a flag "connected"
which is set for open hubs when shutting down, so that all open hubs reopen on startup, but I'll
accept the patch without.
