Apparently, I was enjoying the effects of that bug<grin>..  In migrating systems we often look at 
/etc and finding things in the order needed is much faster if the directories are all closed - 
otherwise it ends up being a very long list to scroll though and a pain to close the folders not 
needed at that time. (I'm pretty sure others use meld for the same job.) It sure would be cool to 
have a keystroke that would collapse-all.

Why are so many spending time watching dark movies about
hopelessness, the macabre, and perversion; why are they reading
books about unfaithfulness and self destruction?  Why is nothing
uplifting, also considered 'cool' or entertaining? -kps
