Details

chimera is unable to import its own (xml format) bookmark files. strange as it might sound, but this could be an important task if a user was trying to import chimera bookmarks from, say, another machine. 0. quit chimera. 1. went to my profile folder and renamed bookmarks.xml to bookmarks-11nov2002.xml 2. restarted chimera --bookmarks.xml was regenerated. (was doing some other testing, and my current bookmarks lacked the new default url's.) 3. wanted to import my previous bookmarks, so selected Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks. 4. selected bookmarks-11nov2002.xml and clicked "open" to import 'em. results: nothing happened, other than the pointer turning into the watch. there was no hang, fortunately, as the pointer returned to normal when accessed a link.
Fix checked in. I had to add a DOCTYPE to the XML file, which should get added to old-style BM files when they get saved by builds with these changes. The default bookmarks file also has a DOCTYPE line now.

be sure to test: * old (pre-fix) bookmarks.xml w/o DOCTYPE --should work * same format, different name (eg, bm-saved.xml) --should work * current build, same name (bookmarks.xml) --should work * random .xml (non bookmarks.xml format) --should be rejected
