The conclusion was no, since it's not very intuitive for the same UI element to control 2 types of actions(those that happen to regardless of whats selected and those that are applied to selected objects). What you really want is an extra link the object-tools part of the page. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/obsolete/admin-css/?from=olddocs#object-toolsexplains how to get them there(the part of the page that warns this is no longer applicable, isn't applicable for this).
