this is the weirdest problem i have ever heard :)

the part about recent files not showing is evidence that qtractor is
silently segfaulting on exit, before runtime settings get saved to
configuration file. so it seems you have a severely broken qtractor build.

i'll beg you do rebuild from scratch, with debug in mind:
  ./configure --enable-debug && make
no need to install, just run from there
  ./qtractor
and try getting segfault stack-traces for post-mortem investigation.

your config.log might be a good start. maybe i'm missing something obvious.

but a bunch of stack-traces of each situation, when loading an old
session, requesting a new, etc. might give some clues.
