I think not. The key is that these are the names you would "select". But 
we could have BOTH there, perhaps.

H (hydrogen)
Ag (silver)

etc.

I definitely see your point there. This is a messy menu. How about:

        []"Perspective Depth"
        "Stereographic >>"
        --------
        "Scheme >>"
        --------
        "Atoms >>"
        "Labels >>" 
        "Bonds >>"
        "Hbonds >>"
        "SSbonds >>"
        "Structures >>"
        -----------
        "Axes >>"  [contains checkbox]
        "Boundbox >>" [contains checkbox]
        "UnitCell >>" [contains checkbox]


My rationale:
1) checkboxes appear only at the top of all submenus
2) perspective/stereo is a special consideration and definitely needs a 
checkbox
3) structures seem to naturally follow atoms and bonds as "bigger" 
considerations

Cartoon rockets are just a variant of "cartoons" so they are colored 
with the "color cartoon" command. I could add it, but it would be the 
exact same command as for "cartoons". Seems unnecessary to me.

All comments debatable.
