It's a last resort. Every additional option is something to be avoided in a 
good UI design. Because things like that tend to add up, and suddenly you find 
yourself with a huge "View" menu.

Particularly an option like this, which people will probably rarely change once 
the initial value has been set, should probably not be in a prime real estate 
area like the main window or a menu (unless it's implicit, like when just 
making the window wider).
