Yes, the default configuration is only two buttons.  However, the "Go" 
menu always has all six options no matter how your toolbar is 
configured.  See attached with KDEClassic icons.  Note that, showing the 
confusion with this issue, that these icons are not correct.  The icons 
for "Previous Page" & "Back" are switched as are "Next Page" & "Forward".

My toolbar is configured to have the same six buttons as Adobe Acrobat 
Reader.  See attached screen shot from the AAR toolbar.  These have the 
same functions (buttons are in the same order).
