OK.  From a UI point of view, lacking any other suggestions, we should go with option 2 (which is basically what has been started).

George has suggested that all of the widgets used in edit multiple dialog get subclassed to have edit multiple properties.  I think this is a good idea.

QCheckBoxes already have a tri-state mode.  They should be used (instead of our own tri-state indication) but I'm not sure that the interface is so good.

It would be good to have a mechanism built into the widgets for deciding of all selected objects already share a setting (in which case they will display that property, rather than being tri-stated.)

Andrew, can you propose an API for tristate widgets?
