Toggle-visibility is as now (click on composite icon). Toggle-chaining must be moved elsewhere; the OP suggests moving to near lock-transparencey (where, IMO, it belongs anyway). (It might be duplicated in a context menu of the icon too.)

Toggling visibility is a non-issue. Chaining MAY BE an issue (although I can't comment - I never needed chaining). If judged important enough, toggle-chaining on non-active layers may be also implemented as Alt-Click (would be self-documented if mentioned in right-mouse context menu).
