following setting will keep that list clear for good when added in
your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:

gtk-recent-files-max-age=0

But I would love to hear how to have $HOME selected by default instead
of the "Recently used" entry.

BTW, try these two gtkrc settings for a cleaner right-click menu:

gtk-show-input-method-menu=0
gtk-show-unicode-menu=0

HTH,
