This seems to work for each top-level entry, but what about collapsing
all the top level entries?  The j2ee tutorial has something like 35

If nothing else, how about a gconf key to control whether or not to
start with all the top-level entries expanded or collapsed?  I can
understand wanting to keep the UI minimal.
