How about allowing both? Ignoring just the selected node in the tree (as is the case currently) **or** ignoring the selected node and its children.
The solution of expressions suggested by Scott offers a far more precise control but probably is harder to put in place for the user.
Just my 2 shallow cents.

I personally would like to see the logger tree stay simple. Focusing on a node implies you can see everything under it - makes sense to me.
NOTE: the information following applies only to the CVS tip version of Chainsaw v2:
If you want to exclude certain packages, why not build an expression in the 'focus on' text box? enter something like this:
! ( ( LOGGER LIKE com.someothercompany.corecomponent.* ) || ( LOGGER ~= org.blah ) )
the LIKE operator evaluates regular expressions, the ~= operator performs a partial text (case insensitive) match.
the ! and || operators are hopefully obvious. You can see all of the supported operators here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-log4j/src/java/org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/rule/RuleFactory.java?rev=1.6&view=auto
If any of the operators need to evaluate fields that use multiple words, wrap the operand in single quotes (like the text of an event). For example:
! ( MSG ~= 'ignore msgs that contain this phrase' )
Notice how all operands and operators must be separated by spaces (even spaces around parens).
Hope this helps, your problem is exactly why we built the expression language.
Take care, Scott
