Hm..... I find the checkbox solution more intuitive.
If this patch gets accepted, one has to make sure, *all* KDE applications follow that method -- incl.Dolphin's "Show hidden file", KOffice's "Show grid", etc.

> The standard actions to toggle the visibility of the menubar and the statusbar are togglable "show" actions: their label is always "show {menu,status}bar" and they have a checkbox next to them. This means when the user wants to hide the statusbar, he must click an item which says "[x] Show Statusbar". I believe this is less intuitive than if the item label were "Hide Statusbar".
