Bruno,

Right - that's what I meant.  Thanks for pointing out that it's nicely 
consistent with other GNOME apps, and for your mockup.  Of course, the 
appearance of the expanders will depend on your GNOME theme: for 
example, with Clearlooks they will be triangles, and with the Ubuntu 
Ambience theme in your mockup they will look like [+/-].  We'll consider 
this enhancement for 0.7.
