Where does GtkFileChooserDialog store bookmarks?

I have some bookmarked folders in GtkFileChooserDialog. I want to add these to my dotfiles. Where are the bookmarks stored?

It's not clear to me how GtkFileChooserDialog relates to the question, since "bookmarked folders" would seem to be an OS-level (or at least window-manager-level) feature, not something specific to an API call for a GUI library. Do you mean that you used a program that generates a file-save or file-load dialog created by GtkFileChooserDialog, and used that dialog to create some bookmarks? Or that you are writing code to generate such a dialog and want it to populate GUI fields based on some bookmarks? Or what exactly?

Why?

... Because they persist between uses of the dialog? And because, at least in Nemo, I can see bookmarks in the left-hand panel of the file browser windows? If you had a different kind of bookmark in mind, then I don't understand what it is and the question would probably be better of with an explicit example.

Based on the answer that "worked for" you, it seems that I did have the right "bookmarks" in mind. You can create these in other ways, for example by using ctrl-D in Nemo while a window is focused. (There is an outstanding bug report for Nemo, whereby if you do this on the Desktop, the resulting bookmark doesn't work properly.)
