MonitorWharf is just a second Wharf. Afterstep allows you to run
multiple instances of the same module with different configuration, but
creating sym-links to module's exacutable with different name.
In this case MonitorWharf is merely a symlink to Wharf.
In this case every line in wharf config file that starts with *MonitorWharf
will pertain to that second wharf, while every lkine that starts with
*Wharf
will pertain to the first wharf.
Distro comes with two entries in Modules menu - one for Wharf and
another for MonitorWharf. You can start and stop it from there, just
like any other module.
The reason for adding this second wharf to default setup was
a) to show an example of this powerfull feature to new users ( which is
the primary goal of default setup - to demonstrates usefull features )
b) it makes sense to separate your monitoring apps from the launching
buttons.

Right now feel setting RecentSubmenuItems <number>
sets the number of such entries for all the menus.
I could add ability to specify it in .include files and thus override
global one, if that sounds reasonable.
