whoa! i almost feel guilty!  will we get to see anything interesting  
because of all this hustling?

not that i would ask for much.  gedit's great, thanks all.

-> What are you calling bookmarks ? often-used files ? or bookmarked
-> directories ? If it is the latter, you can customize it in the gnome
-> place menu or in the open dialog

ahh.  I am sure i mean the latter (the only thing i notice which  
literally sez "Bookmarks").  I do not really run gnome, i use fvwm2  
with gnome-settings-daemon on to control gtk2 stuff (which works fine).  
Probably i can grep around and find some files to adjust?  In any case,  
since a default is "Desktop" (which otherwise serves no purpose for  
me), i've just stuck softlinks in there.

I know that gnome is a great and shiny thing, but is that kind of  
monolithic incorporation into a whole serving your users better  
(perhaps it is)?  Please don't go too far down this road or people like  
me will be stuck out in the cold once it becomes impossible to run  
gnome apps outside of gnome itself.  It would be very microsoftish, you  
know, to lead people into that, depriving them of choices and  
possibilities.  And how many of them actual sit there and go "wow, i  
can set the bookmarks for EVERYTHING with one simple menu"?

eg, i notice the open dialog does have "add" and "remove" buttons under  
"place" but these are both always grayed out (i guess because of  
this...)

will do! thanks again!
