What about the size and fit options being in a triangle menu, like it is for swatches?

Sounds interesting...

The first two sets of symbols I looked at had symbol widths of 6000 px
and 3 px so without a preview size option they wouldn't have been
viewable. That is why the default preview scale is "Fit". But I prefer
to see symbols all scaled the same. If we assume that people only use
symbols that come with Inkscape then perhaps we could drop the preview
scale but I don't think that is a good assumption.
