I think this is going to work a lot better.

Not sure what you mean here ... import galeon 1 bookmarks to galeon 2 ?
I thought this was possible. If it isnt it should definately be.

According to the HIG such a pref should be introduced for normal
toolbars. I think it make sense to have it even for personal toolbar.
This is going to break the decision we made but considering the hig
