Hi,

thanks for your interest in Konqueror.
I'll complete Waldo's answer with answers to points 2 and 8, then.

You would need to store it into the user's webbrowsing profile.
I guess the easiest way would be to profile a complete profile, which you
can create by going to www.real.com and then doing "Save view profile webbrowsing".
Then save your ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing somewhere,
and install it into that same place in the user's home if he really wants to.
(Ironic note: does any user really do that ? :-)

Konqueror can import Netscape bookmarks, but this won't help here
(it does it "as a whole", it imports the whole file).
Konqueror natively uses an XML file (~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml)
that follows the XBEL standard, as defined in
http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/docs/html/index.html 

Adding a bookmark should be as simple as editing this XML file using
any XML tool, to add a <bookmark> tag with the right title and URL 
(and even icon), and then telling all running konqueror instances (and
other apps using bookmarks) about it, using :

dcop konqueror KBookmarkManager 'notifyChanged(QString)' ''
dcop kdesktop KBookmarkManager 'notifyChanged(QString)' ''
dcop kicker KBookmarkManager 'notifyChanged(QString)' ''
dcop keditbookmarks KBookmarkManager 'notifyChanged(QString)' ''

Of course you can also create a KDE 2 app that links to libkonq to
use the nice KBookmark classes :)

Hope this helps.

PS: note that when I say ~/.kde, it is in fact the value of $KDEHOME
if it's set. ~/.kde is the default if KDEHOME isn't set.
