--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Had to read this a couple of times to realize you want to add an item to the
Main menu. Not make a change to widget on the status bar, nor add it to the
Options -> View panel.

The view state buttons on the status bar correspond to 3 views that have
defined UNO actions:

.uno:ShowSinglePage
.uno:ShowMultiplePages
.uno:ShowBookview

respectively. So adding them to a menu is already simple and just need to
decide placement and labeling. And maybe move the UNO for full screen:
.uno:FullScreen onto this sub menu.

Better label than "View -> Pages" might be "View -> Layout".   Pages connotes
the position in the document, while Layout would be the right meaning.

Also, on Windows builds at least, the Status bar *does* provide tool tips for
every element on the status bar--except the thumb on the zoom slider.

And, what about MUFFIN? Where we've conveniently hidden the Main menu. And the
controls remain silent to AT. 

And since you've cast this as an a11y issue, we have never resolved bug
107343--where F10, F6 and standard keyboard movements, shortcuts, and
accelerators are integral to providing functional Assistive Technology. We also
don't fire accessible events for the 

Otherwise +1, it is needed.
