Agreed.  This title was copied from other programs,
but should match the existing style.

OTOH, I'm worried that both 'image-transform-fit-to-width'
and 'image-transform-fit-to-height' were declared obsolete.

So I'm not going to revive them.

Instead I'll implement a more useful item
"Fill Image to Window" that will fill the image
as much as possible to the window without leaving
any glaring empty space.  This means applying
either fit-to-width to vertical images (portrait orientation),
or fit-to-height to horizontal images (landscape orientation).
