I wonder how difficult it would be to get a patch accepted upstream for adding a 
second pulldown in the Preferences->Views pane which had Icon View, default icon 
zoom level, and default thumbnail zoom level.  The 'default' that option started 
at would be a minor issue, but exposing that as configurable more easily might 
be reasonable.
