Regarding to your posting on Zope-Dev:

Did you get an answer?

Otherwise, here's a simple solution (that's the way I'm doing similar things, i. e. let the tree expand at predefined positions):

Open your tree in a new browser window, so that you can see the complete URL of the tree - the tree state is encoded in the URL. Now, expand the tree to the desired state manually. Take the resulting URL from the address bar and make your tree document open with this URL.

Eg, if you have a frame set, and this was s. th. like:

<frameset ...> <frame name="navigation" src="myNavigation">

replace the "src"-part ("myNavigation") by this new, long URL.

If you don't have a frame set, you could also HTTP-Redirect with a <meta content="refresh..."> tag.
