Sadly both aren't easy to implement. The error dialog is displayed by the file
I/O code, and the start center has no control on it (you can see the same
dialog by running from the terminal "soffice /path/to/non-existent-file"). So I
guess there is no easy way to make it handle recent docs.

Remove the recent doc after the error is much easier to implement, but then
again you'll have some issues. e.g. trying to open password-protected docx (but
not odt), then cancelling the password prompt is also considered as open-error
internally, but we probably don't want to remove the recent entry just because
of that.
