Yep. That all seems good.
All the 'Open' options in the file dialog take me to the right places.
enabling 'Use native dialog' gives me the GTK dialog.
The config file now contains:
[FileDialog]
dontUseNative=true
useNativeFileDialogs=false
Thanks,
Chuck.

Ok, I just posted the "final" fix for this to the filedialog branch.
Can you test it in there for me before I merge it? If you aren't
already in the filedialog branch, check it out:
git checkout filedialog
Then pull to get up to date.
git pull
And build as usual. In the preferences, general > presentation you
will find "Use native file dialogs". Uncheck it and you should be
where you want to be with all file dialogs throughout the system.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Glad we finally tracked this one down. It's not complete, though
as it only applies to open dialogs. I think we need to make this a
setting in the preferences. I'll have a look.

That did the trick!
One caveat - after running the new build for the first time, I had
to add the
[FileDialog] setting because it wasn't present although the
timestamp had updated.
However, now I can switch between the aberrant GTK behaviour and the
desired Qt behaviour by changing that setting from false to true.
'job done! Great work!
Many thanks.

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.
