Summary	0006793: Root Tree nodes without any content should open when clicked
Description	Various nodes do not serve any purpose except as containers to subnodes, thereby hiding key functionality. e.g. user clicks the UPnP server node, and nothing appears in the right-hand column, so they may not realize that they had to expand the tree in order to access the functionality. I would suggest that for such nodes, the tree should expand automatically when clicked (or double-clicked). This applies to: Playlists, UPnP node, My Computer, Net Radio.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

Since this isn't a trivial feature, I'm not sure whether we can get it into 4.0, probably rather 4.1. So the question is, whether the suggested implementation would make sense until then. I would rather say that no, since such non-consistencies often aren't accepted well and we would have to revert it later.
