In the case of Totem, isn't the default zoom level 'Best fit'? If it is,
it would make sense to have '☑ Best fit' and not 'Zoom reset'... (This
is how Evince does it.)

This would certainly have the advantage of conserving space on the
toolbar. I don't know where it would be appropriate to use such a thing,
but it is certainly worth bearing in mind as a possibility.
