I've been baffled by the complaints because every application I use daily either has a drop-down attached to a toolbar button or a menu item used to indicate a option. The latter has been part of the user interface for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure it was included in original the CUA specs that have been the influencing UI design for the last 30 years.

For the menu item, a lot do have have an action when the check is changed (in Firefox, View->Toolbar - clicking one displays or removes a toolbar), but as many don't (in Firefox, View->Zoom->Zoom Text Only - clicking changes the option but affects what happens the next time you change the zoom level)
