+1 (Unifiying things is always a good thing. I even wonder whether the commands should be renamed; currently there is useXXX and showYYY and hideZZZ)
The first entry is contradictive; menu says "Hide" while toolbar label says "Show". This might result in a problem when displaying the opposite state of the menu and toolbar button.

On second thought I'm wondering if we could do without “Show” and/or “Hide”.
The checkmarks (on/off) in the View menu and the state of the toolbar buttons (pressed/unpressed) are clear indicators.

Hmm, that's a bad limitation because tooltips could be longer and explanative while menu items should be short (if possible) for recognizing them quickly.
@Pierre: As one can see in XnTriq's list the name of the commands are all over the place. Could these be changed? Perhaps there could be some versioning in all config files and thus config files could experience updates (just a thought). Also, the versioning could be used to force some updated. Currently, people will never experience improvements unless they delete their complete configuration.
@XnTriq: Thank you for the updated list. I still think that we should get rid or the "Show" prefix. Selecting a (unchecked) "Show tittlebar" menu item to hide the titlebar doesn't feel right to me. And the same applies for the toolbar buttons. Alternative would be "Show/Hide..." but this looks even more ugly and confusing in the "View" menu.
I didn't know that cmd_showHeader is also available in the menu until you mentioned it. cmd_infoShow and cmd_thumbsView, however, can only be invoked from the toolbar.
