To be frank, I only use this feature in Dolphin when I accidentally click  
on another class. ie. I use it to go back to the class I was viewing.  
FWIW, Dolphin shows a list of class/methods history like you described,  
when you click on a little down arrow, behaving similarly to most popular  
web browsers.
