Hm... so you like using the Bookmarks editor as a component sort of separate
from Epiphany?

I've just joined this list (sorry if this doesn't get recognized as a
response, by the way) for that very reason :)
A little experiment that I am pondering is a "Locations" system with some
features that go a bit beyond regular old bookmarks. (It should cure, once
and for all, the problem of forgotten web sites and overfilled Bookmarks
lists, as well as help ease the pain of temporarily dead web sites). The
basic plan was to shove it right into Epiphany, but then I realized that
practically every program uses some kind of bookmarks. Our poor desktop
search tools have to try really hard to keep up with all these different
kinds of catalogues... so why not just have a stand-alone program
specialized for bookmarks that does it all? With some useful features, it
could enhance the Gnome desktop experience immensely!
Of course, "enhancing the Gnome desktop experience immensely" is a long way
off; this is an Experiment. (Err... don't let your hopes up; all I have so
far is an Anjuta project file, a UI built in Glade, a dream, a bunch of
notes and a copy of Epiphany's source code).

So your question interests me because it relates directly to what I am
trying to do: A Bookmarks manager that works outside of the web browser.
Since I'm at a bit of a loss for how to fit this all together and where
really to point this system, perhaps you have some thoughts of your own for
what is needed to make it useful?

As for your question #2, I believe a program called devilspie may help; it
lets you create scripts that perform actions on particular windows.

Bye,
