IMHO there is an issue with the by-hand configurability of the rc file.
Of course, this has no importance if a GUI config applet is built (I mean,
no importance if this or the following proposal are used:

[TreeView]
Elements=one,two,mine,my_sisters,all
one=My Computer/My Archives,/home/ctibirna/archives
two=My Computer/My Thesaurus,$HOME/thesaurus
mine=My Computer/Home, $HOME
my_sisters=My Computer/That Bad Sister,ftp://chris@sissy.myhome.net/~chris
all=My Computer/Root, file:/
