I can't speak for Icicles, I've never used it. Besides, that's Drew's
job. :-) However, you might want to look into "recentf", which is a
built-in package. It keeps a list of the <n> most recently opened
files. The value of <n> defaults to sixteen, as I recall, but it
can be changed. When you access the list (from the menu bar or from C-x
C-r) it presents you with that list. You can then select the file
you want to open. I've found it quite handy.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
