 Hello,

 It would be nice to add a filter on the query for the recent comments
 filter (on the dashboard and on the frontend sidebar) so that plugins
 could easily filter out comme comments (related to private posts or custom
 post types).

 Right now, because of the lack of built-in filter on that, the only way to
 remove comments is to overwrite the complete widget call with a new one
 containing the custom query. This isn't very easy and efficient from a
 code prospective.

 So basically, something like that would be nice :
 $filtered_query = apply_filters...
 before
 $comments = $wpdb->get_results($filtered_query);
 in default-widgets.php near line 637 (WP 2.9.1)

 Thanks!
