[Qgis-developer] LayerTree group checkbox behavior

Hi DelazJ,

Thanks for raising the difference between my proposal and Franck's ticket.
But this not seems really different.
The ticket says that when unchecking a group all layers should be unchecked.
IMHO another visual sign should be used (layer grayed, like when the 
layer is not visible due to scale).

Regards
