I agree that for the toolbars this "Hide / Show" looks very untidy in the 
toolbars submenu. However I consider the "Hide menubar" / "Show menubar" menu 
a big improvement over the version with a checkbox, likewise for the 
fullscreen action.

Maybe that's because the menubar/fullscreen ones act more like mode-switches, 
while in case of the toolbars it's more a selection process...

With checkboxes in the toolbars submenu you get the status of all the toolbars 
in one glance and, especially with many toolbars, it becomes easy to turn one 
particular toolbar on and off because you can use the pattern of the other 
checks as reference.

So I think there should be room for both.

Cheers,
Waldo
