So this is like the button bar in Adobe apps?  Or can your panel also
be used as an inspector?

If it's like the button bar, I wouldn't worry about ever showing the
zoom button.  I can't think of what would constitute the preferred
size (which is what the zoom button does; it toggles between preferred
and user sizes).  You would trade visual consistency for behavioral
inconsistency.
