If I recall, this is a major problem because there is no way to manually
save bookmarks.  In other words, if one wants to periodically save
bookmarks in case of a crash, one cannot.  One must exit Bibletime to
save bookmarks.  I would think that auto-saving is a questionable merit;
I suppose one could always delete autosaved bookmarks one didn't want -
