I found this message on the upstream mailing list, and it mentions the
"Use desktop environment native dialogs":

https://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/mailman/message/35501374/

It turns out that I had that option enabled, and disabling it resolves
the problem. So, I have downgraded the severity of this bug.

Disabling the option does not fix the problem with drumkv1, so I think
the problem there is with drumkv1, not Qtractor. I will see what I can
do about that.
