  Music, maybe. Pictures no, for the reasons that @spoorun gave. Also, the Pictures item is useful for Gwenview, no? :) Again, we're talking about good defaults for average users, not for people like us (who can and do customize to our heart's content).

  We already do have collapsible headers! Well... hide-able headers. I think that we shouldn't hide anything by default until the the UI for showing hidden sections is improved, otherwise our users won't be able to find them and will erroneously complain that we're removing features. My vote is for the macOS Finder approach, where the header is clickable and shows/hides its content, but the header itself sticks around. It's quite slick:

  Everybody seemed to like this the last time I brought it up: Let me file a task to track implementing that: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389803
  
  I think this section could definitely be hidden by default once we improve the show/hide UI. My sense is that it's infrequently used, and you can easily get it via the Find toolbar item. Might not be worth the pixels it's occupying by default.

  +1, sounds good.
  
  I suspect that hiding the Search For category by default and moving up the Devices category would resolve the complaints.
