The toggle icon is off by default. I have now turned it on by default,
but I have to activate the bar in every presentation (and I usually have
at least a dozen presentation opened at the same time).

I am not using keyboard shortcuts, but in any case there isn't any
keyboard shortcut for viewing modes (and basic users will never create
one).

I switched to 5.0, and then back to 5.1 when I discovered the toggle icon.

Although it represents an alternative, it is not what Impress power
users (people producing at least a couple of presentations per week) are
looking for. I have talked with Paolo Pelloni, the most known
presentation trainer in Italy (an Impress power user), and he agrees
with me on the importance of that bar (especially of the "normal" vs
"slide sorter" views).
