TBH I'm not really familiar with the GTK front-end, as I mainly use
the TUI. At a quick trial, it looks like --blackbox has the expected
effect on the display there; though with or without --blackbox I can't
seem to get the entries to expand to show me a call-graph profile, so
it's hard to demonstrate it fully. Not sure what I may have done
wrong in building or running perf to make that not work (or is that
expected?)

Currently perf GTK front-end does not support callchains at all. There's a floating patchset to enable it though.

What changes do you have in mind to make these available in the GTK
front-end?

I was thinking of something obvious like right-clicking it to make that
function back boxed away or so? Have no firm ideas - maybe the GTK gents
on Cc: know how to best integrate such features.

We don't support context menu yet. Frankly, perf GTK code is still premature and needs some love. Any contribution should be welcomed!

Thanks,
Namhyung
