We need to improve the default galeon bookmarks file

Message-ID <[email protected]> 
I was playing around with the galeon bookmarks that come as default with
galeon 1.3 and I've attached the resulting file. The main changes are:

1. removed gnome and galeon from the toolbar - they really don't need to
be there and just look confusing.
2. Moved bookmarklets from sample smart bookmarks to the toolbar so that
they are easily reachable.
3. Moved the bookmark link to the right hand side of the toolbar.
4. Updated the gnome folder of the bookmarks
5. Added a separator to add distinction to the bookmarks menus and the
myportal: page.
6. Moved new bookmarks to the top of the list so that they are at the
top of the menu and the myportal: page.

I think that it would be cool to flesh out the default bookmarks file
with good amount of open source links, but I want to run these ideas by
you before i go and do any actual "work" on it.

ps. also - it would be cool if the properties window in the bookmark
editor could be centered on the bookmark editor window. I'm not a big
coder, otherwise i'd attach a patch ;)

pps. I have been editing the bookmarks through galeon - and the
bookmarks.xbel file seems to have a slightly different format to the
default-bookmarks.xbel file - how hard is it to convert between them? i
really hate editing xml manually...

ppps. Also, is there any plans to update the myportal page? the format
is starting to look a bit dated - it would be really cool if it had a
really strong visual impact when someone first starts galeon2. Would ppl
be open to reviewing patches to the myportal page?
