I assume you know that for panning and zooming, if you hold down the 'x' key the pan/zoom is constrained in the horizontal direction and if you hold down the 'y' key it is constrained to the vertical direction. It would not be hard to add support using these keys to the zoom-to-rect. Do you think having a toggle button adds more than simply using these key presses? I do think Darren's suggestion of making the toolbar more easily extensible and configurable is a good one. A colleague of mine recently wanted to change the icons, drop a couple of buttons, and add a couple of new ones, and I think he ended up just pasting in the code for NavigationToolbar and modifying what he needed. Not very attractive from a design persepcetive.
