At least one can get the big icons + text under icons in digikam, too - though 
it is a little hidden. You can set icon size and text options by right 
clicking the tool bar (a context menu appears). I just found that feature 
exidently and a more standard menu would be great IMHO. More on that 
later ... I have to collect more infos like KDE HIG etc.
