Hi all

By default, every attribute of a style is inherited from the parent style.
It's only when you edit something in a style that attributes are not
inherited.
Having checkboxes everywhere will be a little bit hughly :-)
An other solution could be to add Delete buttons in the "Contains" part of
the "Organizer" tab :
