Bookmarks->Import in galeon 2. Maybe your version does not have it.

This is very much a gtk problem. I agree that tree dragging has serious
usability problems.

This make sense to me. I must say I'm trying to keep bookmarks editor
problems out of my eyes because I have already too much to look at :)
If you post a bug I'm sure ricardo will look at it.

Yeah it doesnt satisfy me that much estetically. I dont think we can do
much about it. But as I said, a pref make perfecly sense.

You can drag it on your desktop, or panel and it will add a link to the
page.

I have not a strong feeling about this. But yeah if people thinks it
should be default I dont have problems with it (there is a bug open
about default toolbars, so a decision has not been taken). It's even
sort of suggested by the hig.
