This plugin allows you to get better control on how your categories are listed. It provides a widget which lets you get more options than the default WordPress category widget (show RSS, hide empty categories, etc.). Furthermore, it allows to hide the children categories and use clickable buttons to expand them.

The plugin requires jQuery to be included in your theme if you want expandable/contractable categories. However, it degrades nicely to the usual WordPress category list when javascript is not available.
