Larrys & Michaels proposal would be fine with me too.

I use the copy/paste style quite often, putting them in a submenu would 
be nice, but saves not much space. In opposite to Michael I rarely use 
buttons but rather the context menu to call "change style", " View / 
Edit Attributes", Select features from layer, ...
