Started to work on this here:

First I added filters to games tab. It's a buttonbox containing All, Stanadrd, 
Blitz, Lightning, Variants check buttons. 
But there are other filters I can imagine for seeeks and players tabs, like 
Rated, Unrated, Computers, Guest, Registered, etc.
Seems there is little room for these, so I suggest to remove #of 
seeks/players/games from the left. What do you think?

I think that the original poster of the idea in the mailing list was talking 
about using it to filter seeks in the seeks tabs, not the game list. The idea 
being that seeks come and go very quickly, often much quicker than games in the 
Games tab list, and therefore, being able to filter them in the seek tab so 
that when one matching your desired game filter type appears, you can see it 
and try to accept it alot easier.

I like to be able to filter players too, as sometimes more than 2k players are 
logged in, and I don't want to see guest or just want to see computers, etc. 
Same for games. My choice of filtering games first was just random, I wanted to 
try how filtered treeview can work at all. Btw. Thomas suggested to use 
popup-toolbox (as we use it when selecting different time settings on new game 
dialog) instead of button box I used.

Yeah, that all makes sense. I wasn't disagreeing that we should have filtering 
for Game or Players. I was just saying that I think it would be most useful for 
Seeks. The button box idea sounds good too.
