Sounds like a nice idea.

Agreed.

Not so sure here. I think that many Nautilus bookmarks would be useless in 
Galeon and Mozilla. Sharing does sound like a good idea, but I don't know 
how to deal with the different nature of what you can bookmark in all 3. 
For example, I'm not sure I'd want my entire set of web page bookmarks to 
display in the Nautilus bookmarks menu, which currently contains a few 
local directories that I visit often and nothing else.

Similar issues for history.

If someone starts working on this, I'd be happy to help get the Nautilus 
patch aspect of it right.
