When I doubleclick a subtree, that expands this subtree. The "Expand 
tree" expands the tree item and all its subtrees *recursively*. When 
analyzing h225/h245 that saves a lot of double clicks. And "Collapse 
tree" is not needed as one only has to click the little gtk arrow to 
collapse the whole subtree.

That's why I miss this menu item :) I think it's as useful as "Expand 
all" and "Collapse all".
