I figured it out. We were calling loadRecentFiles() too early. In
init_ui() the QSettings appear to still be uninitialized (no idea why -
but reading the settings gives back no values). By moving the call later
(I simply picked run_ui()) this should work.

I also figured out why I couldn't reproduce it. This can only happen if
the default file is /unset/ - if you have any value in there, even an
invalid one, still loadFiles() gets called which calls addRecentFiles()
which at the end (re-)populates the list.

Fix forthcoming.
