The Gnome HIG discourages using negatives like "Unhide" and as far as I
can remember it would recommend using "Show All in Layer" instead.

not done, and here's another one we need:
Flatten layers // merge all siblings with the current layer
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your description but do you expect that this
going to work like the GIMP/Photoshop where they have
Merge Down
merges the current layer into the layer below it.
Merge Visible
merges all the visible layers together
Flatten Image
merges all layers down leaving only the bottom Background layer
(Photoshop uses the shortcuts Ctrl+E and Ctrl+Shift+E for Merge and Merge
Visible respectively).
If I have misinterpreted could you clarify what you meant by "merge all
siblings with the current layer".
