Probably.

I can see how that may be the case; though I am surprised that "stretch
to window size" is not among them - isn't that the most common use case?

Totem already has one. The current "View" menu layout (shortcut in
square brackets):

**********
Fullscreen [F]
Fit window to movie>
  Resize 1:2 [0]
  Resize 1:1 [1]
  Resize 2:1 [2]
Zoom in [R]
Zoom Reset    <- how is that different from Resize 1:1?
Zoom out [T]
---
Aspect Ratio>
  Auto
  Square
  4:3
  16:9
  2.11:1
() Deinterlace [I]
() Always on top
() Show controls [H]
Subtitles>
  ...
Show/hide playlist [C^P]
() Repeat mode
() Shuffle mode
**********

(Anyway, I just noticed that this is still Totem 1.0.1 because I
downgraded from Breezy to Hoary, so the layout may already have changed
- can somebody confirm?)
