This is a very long-standing request, made unpleasant by our current
tree model construction. See:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131231
for the general case, including proper collapsing.
There is also:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680569
with a patch that I've reviewed but with no response. I might try to
take a fresh look at the patch and see if it will still apply and how
much work it would be to clean up.
cheers,
Kai
