That would be great! Feel free to suggest changes to Paje if necessary.

Paje groups event types that are children of the same container type to 
save vertical space. In this example, the event types "Thread Data" and 
"Monitor Event" are children of of the "Thread" container type. One way 
to avoid this is to change the shapes of these event types. You can do 
that by Tools -> Shapes & Sizes, selecting the appropriate event types 
and increasing the height dimension of one of them.

But I agree with you that this should work directly.

A known bug that is on my TODO list for a while. I'll try to fix it for 
the next release.

Cool, let me know if you have any issues.

One of the things I would like to do is to find an easy way to trace 
objective-c applications [1] so developers can visualize their execution 
using Paje's space/time view. I think that will be beneficial for the 
GNUstep community.
