Not a good alternative place as only advanced users open the options dialog and
there are different toolbar modes per module (e.g. there is no sidebar mode in
impress and there is no single toolbar mode in draw)

Yes per module users may want to change it once or more until they are content
with the mode and then they normally never change it again. With KSO, i only
switch to the classic mode when i want to see their menu or toolbar structure,
other than that, i stick with their ribbon UI.

Setting the necessary keywords to have a dev look into how difficult it would
be to implement this, though i believe that it should be simple as we are
already doing the same for the update button, though it maybe difficult to have
a menu popup from clicking the button, which in that case we could always
create a dialog for the switching if necessary.

I believe the update icon code is here.
