How can i create a dynamic quicklist for the home folder which adds all the bookmarks as quicklists (i heard it is possible via libunity) ?

FYI The API is explained on the Ubuntu Wiki

Dynamic Quicklist entries

Quicklists may also be created and appended to the launcher. To create a quicklist 
a root node must first be created as a container, and then child nodes are added
to it. This final result may be packed into the launcher which is then 
shipped over the bus to Unity. Updates to the quicklist are also live.
Rather than describe the entire API, an example of using quicklist (as well as 
progress and count) is provided below using the vala bindings.

It is important to note that the main loop must be invoked for the program to 
actual work. Libunity requires the usage of the main loop as work may be done 
async.

I have not seen an example of this yet. If I do I will add it here within an hour ;)

Dynamic quicklists did NOT work prior to unity - 3.8.8-0ubuntu1 due to a bug.
