* in the past, the default behavior was: hiding a group would disable it,
and then showing the group would re-enable it
* problem occurs when user has disabled a group; hiding and showing it
unexpectedly re-enable the group
* there was a config variable to disable this behavior, but it was never
shown on the GUI and therefore not discoverable
Despite the longstanding policy, there's really no reason for
group visibility and enablement to be intertwined.
If this chnage causes a big problem for someone, they can revert to
the prior behavior by setting the new config variable in the text file
