  Well, this doesn't make it possible to my favourite local folders pop
up as an action in the K-menu (as can be done with network folders). It
doesn't make it possible to have 'em pop up from the panel either?
Bookmarks can be accessed these ways, but not a particular subsection of
bookmarks, right? Anyways having these being the same as the "Quick
access" items would be logical and neat.

  Yes, I know. I took them as an example of how I'd also want my
favourite local folders accessible. :-)

  I'd love to see that being done. :-)
Let's hope for something like that in KDE4. Or can anybody easily
implement it already? (I'm not a coder, if PHP and such don't count. :-)

  cheers, Simon
