This sounds to me like your RecentFiles setting doesn't exist yet. You
could try a two-step approach:

files = settings.value("RecentFiles")
if files: self.recentFiles = files.toStringList()
# else self.recentFiles = ... something else? ...

or you could look at the docs for your QSettings object and see if you
can provide a default for it to return. That might save you some
trouble.
