OK, I've applied a fix for that.

I try to avoid IRC generally as it's too distracting for little gain.
I'm usually on MS Messenger as dpage@postgresql.org though, or (slightly
less often) on Yahoo as pgSnake.

I think in this case though we should generally get a refresh whenever
anything in a sub node changes anything in a parent or grandparent node.
I think I've largely nailed this for tables now (which is pretty much
the only place it happens that I can think of), the only downside being
that it causes the child collection nodes to get recreated which causes
them to become collapsed. Not sure how to fix that without a fairly
large rewrite.
