Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Setting Icon Size and Text Position should be universal. The user should not have to do this in each application individually. Please add a place in System Settings for configuring prefered toolbar preferences, such as Icon Size, Text Position, and others. Thanks.
Icon sizes can be configured with systemsettings->Appearance->Icons->Advanced. Note that due to bug 168480 the icon size is not respected. You can configure text position with systemsettings->Appearance->Style->Fine Tuning. See also bug 171815 for not respected text positions in secondary tool bars. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 168480 ***
