Under what circumstances may a checkbox be indeterminate?  I don't have
a lot of Gnome/GTK programming experience, but this doesn't seem right. 
As a checkbox is optional, its default or indeterminate state should be
unchecked.  Right?  This problem sounds much like the inconsistencies in
HTML forms, where a checkbox is assumed to be unchecked if checkbox
isn't among the parameters because HTML forms don't send unchecked
buttons.
