I must agree with Crispin on this one.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I
don't recall seeing such duplication of hierarchy anywhere else, but the
suggested alternative can be seen in many places.

Take, for example, any file manager with tree on the left and folder
contents on the right, the right hand side is always flat, and you can't
expand the folders.  Double-clicking on a folder replaces the right hand
side with the contents of the said folder.

While the bookmarks editor isn't identical to a file manager, it's very
much alike and following a familiar behavior is preferred, in my
opinion.

I think double-clicking should be activate in both cases, at least
that's what I'm expecting double-click to do.  And for folders that
means expanding the folder, and for bookmarks opening the page.  At
least in my mind activating means 'Open this thing', not 'Show metadata
of this thing'.

Now, I agree opening the bookmark in the old window can be problematic,
therefore I think we could do the same as from the command line, open a
new window by default.  This would be in line with the behavior if the
bookmarks editor were a separate application; activating a bookmark
would in essence be calling galeon from command line, opening a new
window.
