Okay, so I went back into krec, gave it another try. I thought I was already 
doing pretty much what you said above in those steps, but the end result is 
the same. 

I don't actually see a new file icon, for what it's worth, but that choice is 
available in the menu under File (or by Ctrl-N). When I do that, I see a 
change at the top (beneath toolbars) to "file with no name", and when I look 
in the menu under Play, I see a red button for Record (or just use Ctrl-R); 
also there is a red button for record on my toolbar. 

There is no button for Stop that I can see, and nothing appears in the menus. 
There is an X in the toolbar, but that seems to mean just Close. When I hit 
it, I am told that the document has been modified, and asked if I want to 
save or discard it. Also, at the extreme lower right corner, there is a kind 
of counter or meter which is active, suggesting that I am recording 
something, or that krec wants me to believe that I am recording something; 
there are numbers showing Position and Size, which appear to be in minutes, 
seconds, maybe milliseconds or frames. Also, at the extreme upper left, there 
is a thin bar which on my machine appears to be purplish, and which I imagine 
to be some kind of graphic progress bar. Again, nothing happens: the think 
purplish bar remains the same. 

When I try to save the file, or export it to wav format, I get empty files of 
a few kilobytes. 

I cannot show you some of this, because ksnapshot disappears when I do 
anything with an active window, but here is a screenshot of my krec, which 
tells me that it is currently recording. See attachment.
