Well, I don't know if a simple rule can cover all cases, but I have the 
opinion that the split between saving with the document and saving with the 
application can be made on the basis "does this have semantic value for the 
user's data?".

For me, the choice of displaying a toolbar in a drawing application is a 
user preference - when the drawing is sent to a colleague the toolbar is not 
that useful (for the marginal cases, my colleague can simply reenable the 
grid). And he may have his own preferences for the toolbar.

Now, the grid case is less clear, but even then for a killustrator, it seems 
like a tool setting. The kvivio case may be different.

At the opposite extreme would be red-lined text in a document. If the author 
inteded to delete it, he would have done. Thus, this data must be saved with 
the document.

Now, this is a little subjective, but I hope this thought helps.

Thanks, Shaheed
