It could be even easy with:
void QTreeWidgetItem::setHidden ( bool hide )

If it works we don't have to change the tree at all, only set the hidden
status of items (which is completely different thing that our UI
"hidden" status). If user inputs some text into the text area, the whole
tree will be opened and filtered. When the text is cleared all items are
set non-hidden.

But I still don't personally think it's a very important feature, so I
won't put it high on my own todo list. This could be a nice small task
for some novice developer, though.
