I'm still getting crashes reliably when exiting the application,
too -- and the stack trace has none of our code in it, which is
particularly frustrating.  I'm compiling Qt and KDE with debug
at the moment, just in case I can get anything out of that.

Well, it's just an obvious word for... um... merging things.
But hey, I can stick with collapse if you like.

(I have no problem with collapse -- I find it perfectly
meaningful -- but I do have a problem with expand.  To my mind,
our usage of expand is quite at odds with the meaning of the
word, which suggests making things longer rather than shorter.
Our usage can only really be explained as "the opposite of
collapse", it's not meaningful in itself, which is a bit of a
defect.  Certainly I can never remember what we're using expand
to mean, except by thinking of it as the opposite of collapse.
Merge/split seems like a better pair of antonyms, even if
collapse is a better word than merge.)
