Add options to toggle display of primary and secondary links

This is actually an annoying limitation of Drupal 5 themes. It has been fixed in Drupal 6; you can uncheck the "toggle display of Primary links" checkbox.

Unfortunately, there's no way to backport that feature to Zen for D5.

The best you can do is set the $vars['primary_links'] and $vars['secondary_links'] variables to '' in your SUBTHEME_preprocess_page() function.

function SUBTHEME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $vars['primary_links'] = $vars['secondary_links'] = ''; // Disable the theme's default navigation links.
}

It's in your sub-theme's template.php file. And when I said "SUBTHEME_preprocess_page", I meant that "SUBTHEME" should be whatever your sub-theme is named. For example, if you subtheme was called "foo", you need to edit the foo_preprocess_page function.

In #2 I said that you can't backport the D6 feature of adding a "primary links" and "secondary links" to the list of items to toggle on admin/build/themes/zen page. Which is true.

But maybe I could just add these 2 checkboxes onto the Zen settings fieldset at the bottom of that page via the custom theme settings. The interface would be inconsistent, but at least the functionality would be there.

Fixed.
