 To use the file places or file bookmarks with Konqueror, the File Open dialog must be used. They are not visible as Konqueror Bookmarks. This is confusing.
+
+== System Global Bookmarks (Places) ==
+
+Desktop bookmarks are specified by freedesktop.org in 
+http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec
+
+Unfortunately this is only partly implemented in KDE 4.3.1.
+
+More precisely, reading global bookmarks from {{{$XDG_DATA_DIR/desktop-bookmarks/*.xbel}}} is not supported.
+Also {{{/usr/share/kde4/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml}}}, {{{/etc/xdg/places.xbel}}}, {{{/etc/xdg/system-places.xbel}}} and {{{/etc/xdg/user-places.xbel}}} are ignored.
+
+Therefore there is currently not mechanismen for system global bookmarks.
