You list both Windows and Linux as used. AFAIK no definitive way to change the default open directory from recently used.
Windows
You can get around it (sort of) by appending an image to the Gimp start up command in a shortcut.
This will open the image when gimp starts, and any subsequent 'opens' will go to this directory 'as-the-last-used'. Until you save else-where for that session.

Linux
You can do a similar thing in linux with the .desktop file.
and for the ever increasing list of recently used, disable the file ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel All the applications complain bitterly, but w-t-h let them.
Thumbnails
Look in Edit -> Preference -> Environment
Check that you have Image Thumbnails set to a size and there is a checkbox for Document history which I think has to be enabled.
In linux thumbnails are stored in the directory ~/.thumbnails/normal which can grow to a large size. I go in and delete every now and again, let Gimp build up again as I open images.
