Been in KDE for a while.
In KControl goto Appearance & Themes / Style / Miscellaneous* / Then change
the Text Position to text under icons
Then in Appearance & Themes / Icons/ Advanced Click on the Toolbar and change
to 32x32
As you use apps you might need to clean them up a little. For example I
remove all the items that everyone knows the shortcuts to, open,save,quit,
print, cut,copy,paste leaving five or six key actions for that applications
window.

* Why is this called Misc when it only contains toolbar settings? Shouldn't
it be called toolbar settings? And why are they grouped in a box when there
is only 1 box. Having only 1 groupbox in a widget is a hint that something
is wrong.
