This looks fine.

I think the menu would be more flexible if it worked like the firefox
menu for zooming eg

   View
   ----
   Zoom -> Zoom In (Ctrl + +)
           Zoom Out (Ctrl + -)
           ------------------
           Normal (Ctrl + 0)
           Best fit

The nice bit is that GTK has stock icons defined for the Zoom In,
Zoom Out, Normal and Best Fit that are standardized across apps.

Thanks for the proposal.  Your code looks good - if you can change the
menu structure I'd be happy to merge it.
