You should have a modifier to get this as a secondary behavior, like pressing the ctrl key when (un)checking the group checkbox. The primary behavior of the group switch should be to make the children invisible or visible, regardless of the children's visibility being on or off.

I understand this in the way I wrote in my last message. You would make the children visible/unvisible "regardless of the children's visibility being on or off". This results in the two cases I described.
Well, to be honest there are two more cases, but they are not critical :-)
3) group is checked and layer ist checked
4) group is unchecked and layer is uncheched

I don't think this case exists.

Why not? You check/uncheck a group and the layers are visible/invisible depending on the group status not their individual status.

Are you saying you _want_ this to be possible ?
Because for me an unchecked layer should _never_ be shown.

Same for me, _plus_ a checked layer should _always_ be shown

2) Group is unchecked and although layer is checked it is not visible

This is a possible case, IMHO, which calls for the "half-checked" widget.
