I'm not sure if you mean something else, but I can see the zoom percentage 
in the document window; it's in the bottom right corner, where the scroll 
bars meet. It shows what zoom percentage I'm at currently, and serves as a 
pop-up menu to let me select others. Is that what you're looking for?

This is in 1.2 beta v1.

I also like your idea of saving the file as an 'environment' and opening 
up the palettes in use while it was saved. Graffle seems very dependent on 
palettes (to its detriment on my PowerBook screen, actually). Now that 
I've actually been reading the tutorial (*sheepish grin*) and picking up 
on the features, I'm finding more about how it all fits together. (Like, I 
finally found out how to make shadows transparent and so on.) Having the 
palettes re-open with the file would make some sense to me, at least as a 
preference (maybe have an option to ask if you want the palettes you were 
last using open when you open the document?).
