Actually I think Nautilus bookmarks make tons of sense.  Think about
remote locations, deep hierarchies, etc.

The main problem here is that nautilus bookmarks are missing some
important features (i.e. hierarchal ordering).  Fortunately, I've been
working on fixing this (mainly so toolbar bookmarks can be well
integrated).

Whether we provide a vfolder view of the bookmarks or not is an
orthogonal issue.
