No. It does it for empty folders as well. The grey tick is there so that
you can deselect it, in order to make the contents lose the read-only
attribute, if any of those files have that attribute. You can also make it
solid black, to do the opposite. They certainly could have designed it to
be less confusing - maybe some tooltips at least.
