I suspect we'd need at least two 'single unified controls' :) As you
say, some apps need non-numeric zoom levels like "fit to window" and
"fit width", and anything with +/- buttons doesn't really quite make
sense for those, IMHO. But equally, a drop-down list of values doesn't
suit apps with infinitely-adjustable zoom levels.
