Some dialogs, like "Select folder", "Add folder", have fixed small icons, they don't respect the system "Small Icons" size settings. The "Add file" dialog is ok. Also the "Extract" dialog in Ark has fixed small icons, I don't know if it is the same kfile code. Reproducible: Always
Ark dialogs are indeed using kfile code. Should already be fixed in KDE 4.9.2 with http://commits.kde.org/kdelibs/0a0231a340a21480207d967beb695a821155b58c but also see bug 264841 and bug 182089.
