Creating a taxonomy menu that also filters a specific content type

I've tried to achieve this with this module + views bonus pack and the instructions with the bonus pack regarding nested taxonomy stuff.
Unfortunately this yielded me a taxonomy menu that works in a ridiculous way, the menu itself (you can put it in a block view) links to a page that repeats the title of the term you click, and that links to a group of nodes that are sorted by taxonomy. the extra page is of no use at all.

Then I set a node:type filter on the view, wich seemed to work at first, the node count in the menu updated correctly, but then when you click a link in layer one of the view you get to the page that repeats the term link you clicked, but this one looses the node:type filter.

If anyone knows of a better way to get a hierarchical taxonomy menu please tell me!
