Ok, i reworked the patch to attach short text to KAction instead fo the 
boolean flag. Remaining machinery is about the same. Short text can be set to 
empty string to hide the text (and effectively turn the button into 
IconOnly). Original (long) text is shown as a tooltip if it's different from 
the short variant.

It may be also possible to use short text uncoditionally (and ensure it's not 
empty) and use the flag (like in original patch) as well or to display text 
unconditionally everywhere (in IconTextRight or IconTextBottom modes) but i 
don't like it as it doesn't address many of the issues original patch does.
