I'm not sure tri-state checkboxes are really obvious to the user (we have some
in the konqueror properties dialog for permissions on multiple files, but well...).
When there's room it's simpler to have separate checkboxes (like in "kcmshell fonts", \
"Adjust All Fonts...") But I guess screen space is an issue in the filter dialog :-) \
So maybe there's no other way indeed.
