After spending some time on this bug, I came to conclusion, that this is not an
easy/straightforward task.

I can save the expand state per group, no problem. But I can't easily reuse it
on new contact list window, because I have no way of telling, that the model
finished reading all the data (and in fact it never does). So the solution
would be to connect to rowsInserted() signal and then check if that row is a
group and if so then check the config and expand it accordingly. 

But that would be active for all newly added groups, ie. after some time you
connect some account with group "G1", which is saved to be expanded. So the
rowsInserted() will be emitted, the group name will be checked and the group
itself expanded. The problem is, that it may feel like an unconsistent
behaviour - only some groups are expanded of the newly connected account and
some are not. The user might think - what the heck? Why not all of my groups
are expanded? (He might have forgotten that he had this group expanded some
time ago)

So how to actually do this?
