We are hoping to split bookmarks and searches into clearly separate
functions. This would be targeted for 1.12. This would clear up the
confusion (my personal opinion) that was inherited from Galeon with
"Smart Bookmarks".

What is wrong with the zoom widget? I would think that new users would
be more confused with buttons as there is no concept of "default" or
"normal" zoom.

I would also argue that Edit/Toolbars is perfectly clear. It uses the
same language as Edit/Preferences. And the default toolbar setup in
Epiphany is to have two toolbars. I also think that View/PopupWindows
works too. If I want to see Toolbars, the Statusbar, or PopupWindows I
used the same checkbox scheme.
