How can I import my 24 word mnemonic seed into bitcoin-qt? I think that I will have to convert it to some other format but I don't know how to do that nor what format to use. BIP 39 does not work.

You can't. Bitcoin Core does not currently allow the importing of seeds or mnemonics.

couldn't one use "https://iancoleman.io/bip39/", enter the 24 words, and at the very bottom get a list of priv & pub keys, that can be imported into bitcoin core (1 by 1) ?

You could still miss some private keys and if you continued to use the wallet that had the mnemonic, then you would likely miss later transactions too. – Andrew Chow – 2018-01-16T17:59:15.977
