I disagree, and I think Christoph was correct in isolating this as a problem. 
There may be a technical distinction, but to the user there is no logical 
difference between the kpart view modes and the other view modes. All view 
modes ought to be in one drop-down toolbar button, even if it needs some 
rehacking of toolbar buttons re:kparts.
