I just looked and there are 35 subscribers to this list, which I think
is very promising ;)

That sounds reasonable, though I'm not sure how interesting people
will find this.

I think these are valid gripes. If nobody can find the refresh button,
we didn't do the UI right. We should just add a refresh button in the
task bar.

Similarly, we should add a 'filter history' button somewhere, either
only in the tree view, or in the toolbar, but only enabled when
switching to the tree view. Perhaps we should also move the view
button to the top, where it is more visible.
