[Ieview] IEView not accessible

The toolbar button would only show up if you added it via the customize
toolbar menu.

Otherwise, when viewing a page that *can* be reloaded with IE View (that
is, *not* about:blank, etc.) -- you should see "Always View this page in
IE" in the Tools menu; and when right-clicking the page, or a link,
"View this page in IE" or "Open Link Target in IE" should be seen.  None
of this is there?
