Opening a file from the file manager or command line does not add it to Recent Media

When I open a file by double clicking in a file manager (Thunar) or by specifying it on the commandline ("vlc somemovie.avi") it does not get added to the "Recent Media" item in the menu. When I open a file using the "Open File..." menu item it does work however.
