Screenshots taken by maim do not show up as "recent files" #219

When taking a screenshot, the screenshot doesn't show up as a "recent file" in (at least) applications using GtkFileChooser.

Screenshots taken by xfce4-screenshooter do appear.

For this to work, maim should now rely on GTK. There is already a bunch of dependencies, is it worth it to bring yet another one?

A small python script could handle this. Some casual google searches came up with this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39836725/how-does-one-add-an-item-to-gtks-recently-used-file-list-from-python/39927261

I think it's outside the scope of maim to do this automatically, since there's no guarantee someone is using GTK.
