Want fast access to your Chimera bookmarks from it's dock icon? With a simple download and replace, you can have them!
Quit Chimera and download the required files. Go to bug 163646 at bugzilla, and scroll down to Comment #5. Download the attachment and expand it. You'll have a folder labled MainMenu.nib in your downloads folder.
Next control-click on the Chimera/Navigator application and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Navigate the folders to Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj. In there, you'll see MainMenu.nib. Rename this to MainMenu.nib.old (or anything else you'd prefer).
Now copy the MainMenu.nib object from your downloads folder into the English.lproj folder. Re-launch Chimera and you should have bookmarks in Chimera's dock menu!
[Editor's note: Chimera just keeps getting cooler and cooler! This is a very useful hack, and it hasn't caused any problems with my Chimera installation. The submitted hint suggests deleting the old nib file; I prefer to rename it, in case you ever want or need to rever the behavior.]

Now here comes the clever part: these URL files are application independent - so they work in any browser and are easy to transfer & back up. No more "importing your favourites" - if you change sides in the next big browser war, all you need to do is change your preferred browser in the internet prefs. The urls will now open in your new browser!
