It is possible to script something like this, but it would not be as easy to
manage as in Netscape. You might want to add a few bookmarks manually using
the Menu Editor on the Settings menu. A URL might look like this:


[Desktop Entry]
Name=Slashdot
Comment=News for Nerds
Name[en_US.ISO8859-1]=Slashdot
Comment[en_US.ISO8859-1]=News for Nerds
Exec=gnome-moz-remote --newwin --raise http://www.slashdot.org/ 
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-html.png
Terminal=false
MultipleArgs=false
Type=URL

Not exactly. The "Favorites" menu item is not actually a folder. It just
separates the system menus from the user's menus. You must create folders to
actually hold menu items or they will be listed under Favorites on the main
menu.

~/.gnome/apps contains the .desktop files that you create under Favorites.
