That's probably a theming issue.

From [1]:
If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or
spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a toggle button, and the current
values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the
toggle in an "in between" state. This function turns on "in between"
display. Normally you would turn off the inconsistent state again if the
user toggles the toggle button.

Maybe you could post a mockup? I can't think of a nice way to integrate
this into the GUI atm - I also suppose that this isn't very common. The
midnight commander doesn't have it, and the midnight commander has
everything else ;). How is this functionality integrated into win32/mac
os?
