Could you do this with a Smart Folder?

I don't know, something like "The 10 recently opened applications"...

This way, you would be sure that you never have too much applications in that folder but still have access to your "most used applications" (sort of)...

Unfortunately, smart folders don't show up as stacks. I'm really disappointed because I had this brilliant idea to make a smart folder that displayed all applications that had no label. Then I would simply label any application I didn't want to show up in the stack. This way, I could exclude apps (like Adobe Help Viewer) without having to actively add applications to the stack. New apps I installed would automatically show up, and I could then simply give them a label if I didn't want them to show.

Alas, my dream was shattered when I added the smart folder to the dock, and it simply showed up as a folder than when clicked, would open a Finder window.

If anyone knows of a way to make a smart folder show up as a stack, please let me know!

Note that the system menu has a list of recently opened applications, if that's all you need.
