So given that our UI is *supposed* to be frozen, I would very much like
to make as few large changes to the Evo UI as possible. Adding a new
toplevel menu is exactly the kind of very large change which I want to
stay away from. 

To that end, in keeping with the HIG, these items should be in the
"View" menu. The HIG goes as far as to stipulate that every app with a
toolbar should have a "Toolbar" menuitem, placed *in* the View menu. To
put it anywhere else would be to make ourselves inconsistent with the
rest of GNOME.
