  We already have disclosure triangles and disclosure buttons, I don't  
think we need to invent a disclosure pushbutton. People expect push  
buttons to trigger an action (not counting that weird button/popup  
transvestite for PDF printing in the print panel), and this button  
changes the view. Also, we don't want to confuse our users. As soon as  
there's another pushbutton, they'll wonder if that's a third option  
(particularly if it's in the 'Don't save' position). I'd use a  
triangle, it's much smaller, and immediately recognizable as a view- 
changer.

  A button (particularly full-size) throws off the visual balance much  
more.
