I made some mockups today, you can see them at
http://banshee-project.org/~gburt/filter_menu_mockups/

Note that 1) the first item "All X" stays visible all the time  2) the
View menus would probably change, be much simpler than these mockups
show, probably show put the visiblity/add new filter in the main View
menu  3)  the scrollbar for the filters would start beneath the "All
X" item (since it stays visible all the time).  Thanks to lamalex for
the feedback already on IRC.
