Display - Rearrangement

Should some things in 'Display' be swapped and separated using lines?

I don't have a strong opinion on the division or not of the first nine items but do wonder if other parts of the "Display" menu need to be reviewed.

The reason is an inconsistency in provision of display options which makes it difficult to remember where things are. Some objects can only be toggled on and off using the Display menu (or keyboard shortcuts of course), others can be toggled using either the Display menu or a context menu right-clicking the appropriate area of the GUI and yet others are not in the Display menu at all and only be controlled using the right-click context menu.

To make matters even more confusing if the object is moved so it becomes a separate window (eg the palette), its right-click context menu seems to disappear.

If all of these things go into the Display menu (which logically I feel it should even if they are available elsewhere) the list grows even more. Is it time to nest some of the options? eg toolbars, audio functionality
