Yes, we've been wanting to make Nautilus bookmarks and GTK+ bookmarks (those
displayed in the FileChooser, and now in the panel Places menu) work the
same way. Ensuring Nautilus uses it makes it much easier to actually change
the extra stuff in Places too - I don't think many users will actually know
how to do it the FileChooser way until someone gives them a nice tip. ;-)
