<sigh> I forgot that.

There should be a way: there's a "collapse tree" signal which we could use to
recurse down the subtrees closing them, then just redraw (or something like
that).

Especially given what Jakub pointed out in comment 30, I'm thinking that we:

1) Mark these fixes to be back-ported to 1.10.2
2) Close this bug
3) Open an enhancement for a "Collapse subtrees" functionality since it appears
to have always been like this and it also affects the Qt port.

Barring complaints, I'll do that in a while.
