This documents the schema, but not the actual data format used. Have you 
got some specs?

If you can set up a directory server with public access and some example 
entries, I will look into the possibilities. I know the LDAP code in 
KDE, the bookmarks are not my strongest point, but I think it's not a 
difficult thing to implement. However, the next KDE version which can 
have this feature is KDE 4.

Also it would be good to have not just bookmarks, but the whole 
configuration environment in LDAP, (e.g a KConfig backend), which will 
allow to centralize the desktop management (like in Novell NDS, or AD 
group policy).

Bye,
György
