This is no go for me -- I don't see any reason to put so much options 
into one pane. Quite contrary, making distinct "bookmarks" node, and 
mouse behaviour (which will be, I hope, more elaborate in future) 
will help.

If slave page is another node in tree -- yes!

The only one significant change I see is putting spinbox into one line 
with label.

However I don't like general look (of both of them)

The title of the pane is left-adjusted
the labels of the groups are centered
labels are again left-adjusted

All of them should be left-adjusted -- we don't want to ruin user 
nerves, right?

Labeling groups in such way

-------------------------
label

is wasting space, such labeling saves space

-- label ------------------

and it is still clear that is the label of the group.

In the last group (Izobrazenia) last two checkboxes are incorrectly 
placed. Or it is matter of the theme? I cannot stress more that I 
really dislike those new (KDE4) light indications of grouping -- 
instead of simply reading what belongs where user has now to spend 
some time just to "decode" the meaning of all the shadowy lines.

You mean the 3x3 "fast" access bookmarks? It could be an option for it 
plus script how to convert bookmark file into bookmark page. This way 
each user could tweak the script and generate highly customized 
bookmark pages.

Cheers,

PS. Each time I see Russian text I am embarrassed that I forgot almost 
everything I knew, shame ;-)
