Both the before and after versions of the View ->
Toolbars menu are inconsistent.

If a 'Show...' item has a tick, then it's something
that is currently visible, and I untick to hide it.
When it's hidden, the tick is gone and the menu item
text is the same, 'Show....'.

But the main control (the after version) seems to be a
menu toggle, where if it's hidden the text reads
'Show...' and if it's visible, the text reads
'Hide...'.

You're mixing two types of menu control here.
I would put 'Show Toolbars' at the top of the submenu,
and when it is unticked, grey out the individual items
beneath it but keep their ticks.
