Installation

1. copy the file BrowserBookmarksMenu.server to the folder /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/ (you may need to replace lib by lib64 if you have a 64-bit architecture).
2. copy browser-bookmarks-menu.py to the folder /usr/lib/browser-bookmarks-menu/ (as specified by the .server file mentioned above). You will need to create this directory.

Fedora users: you may want to replace "/usr/lib/browser-bookmarks-menu/" by "/usr/libexec/" for the location of the .py file. Don't forget to also change the .server file appropriately.

3. you should be able to add it to your panel just like any other applet. Right-click on your panel, and choose Add to Panel -> Browser Bookmarks Menu.

Troubleshooting

If the instructions above do not work, try running the following from the console:
./browser-bookmarks-menu.py -print

If there are no error messages, then try ./browser-bookmarks-menu.py -window

This may give you some idea of where the problem is.

Depending on your distribution, you may need to install the following packages:
1. gnome-python2
2. gnome-python2-applet
3. gnome-python2-bonobo
4. gnome-python2-gconf

or

1. python-gnome2
2. python-gnome2-extras

This program has been tested on python-gnome2 version 2.10.0 (Ubuntu 5.04).
