I haven't looked at the applet code, but I can't foresee any problems.
The core of my code is:
      * ephy-nodes-cover which determines which topics to use to build
        the hierarchy
      * ephy-bookmarks-menu which determines when to build submenus and
        when to build subdivisions.
Even if they aren't able to be used directly, they should be able to be
ported easily enough.

Nigel: Are you using GtkUIManager? Can you send me a link to the code?

Regards,
Peter.

PS. What I would like is having the bookmarks system of Epiphany
separated out as a CORBA object to be shared by applets/browsers/etc.
The presentation of bookmarks in Epiphany is then an optional extension.
The heavy dependency in Epiphany on EphyNodes makes this unlikely
though.
