Re: newbie-adding bookmarks to bookmarks toolbar

Try this one to fix your bookmark toolbar:
1. Go to (in konqueror) Bookmarks>Edit Bookmarks
2. Right-click on the top-level 'Bookmarks' and choose 'Set as Toolbar Folder'

Kubicle,
Here are results from Konsole:
albert@ALBERT-KUBUNTU:~$ konqueror
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device

Those errors are unrelated to your problem, but if you wish to get rid of those you can look at this thread, for example:

Dont know how to capture screen in linux yet.

Ksnapshot is a handy tool for captures, should be in the k-menu under Graphics (for future reference, try the procedure on top of the post first)

Snowhog,
This was suggested by Kubicle to see what error messages I get. As you suggest I usually use quicklaunch. I repeated it with kdesu and the error message was the same.

Any luck with the procedure in my previous post? (just in case you missed it)

Did not work. I can drag and drop to the tab line but not to the bookmarks toolbar, which I assume is directly under the address bar. Before you invest any more time I will uninstall and reinstall. I have also installed FF and it works perfectly so I might just go with it. Thanks all.

Hopefully you haven't uninstalled/reinstalled yet. What you are wanting to do does work.

In Konqueror, with Settings | Toobars | Bookmark Toolbar (Konqueror) checked, you can click+drag from the desired open window tab to the Bookmark Toolbar. I just tried it.

I just tried again unsucessfully (for the umpteenth time) to d & d link from address bar to the area directly below it but not to the next level below, the tab area, where it will work.
