OK, I have something like this working. See the screenshot to have a
look at it. Actually, it loads the file at startup. If you choose an
item, it puts the query in the query text box. If you execute a query,
it adds the query in the combobox and save the contents of the combobox.

When writing the code, I had four questions:

 * should we have a global history or a history per database? I prefer
   the former...
 * probably I need to add a Clear button?
 * should I add options to allow the change the filename?
 * is there anything else I have to add?

Comments?
