Ok, I just pushed a change for you to test to a new branch called
filedialog. If you are using git (without forking), you can get it as
follows:
git fetch
git checkout -t origin/filedialog
Now build and run as usual. After the first run, you will find this
in your Rosegarden.conf file:
[FileDialog]
dontUseNative=false
Set that to true and re-run rosegarden. Now you should have a very
different looking file open dialog. Does it work any better?
When you are done, switch back to the master branch with git and build.
git checkout master

As I was digging around I saw mention of Qt using "native dialogs".
Maybe this is what is going on. Maybe you are using GNOME and somehow
Qt is being told to use the native file dialog rather than its own. That
might explain why it is using a GTK+ .XBEL file to store these recent
used "bookmarks".
QFileDialog has options and the "DontUseNativeDialog" option controls
this. The Qt docs indicate that *using* the native dialog is the
default if one exists. Maybe we should try forcing
"DontUseNativeDialog". I'll need to do a little more digging and
provide you with a new version to test. I'll put it on my todo...

Ah. False alarm then.
The other thing I discovered was that my rg 'Recent' list in 'File
Open' is apparently being
populated from .local/share/recently-used.xbel
which is, I believe, a GTK resource. I don't know if that is supposed
to happen.

Mine looks just like that:
[FileDialog]
history=@Invalid()
lastVisited=file:///home/ted/Documents/rosegarden/Test
qtVersion=5.12.8
viewMode=Detail
And mine works fine.
