This should be part of a "properties dialog" for the respective layer.
Properties may include attributes like "skip-DRC", DRC rules specific 
to this layer, layer name, whether this layer is included in gerber 
export, etc.

The properties dialog may open on right click on the layer button
(like properties dialogs do in many applications). 

Single click should be tied to "make layer the active layer"
Double click should be tied to "toggle visibility"

This would provide maximum sensitive button area. Currently, the 
separate buttons for visibility and active layer make for quite some
mis-clicks by me. It is easier to blindly differentiate between click
and double click, than between closely locates buttons.
