No, I would submit it the the usability list for comments.

There are two settings that are not labeled well:

In the Control Center: Appearance & Themes -> Icons : Advanced

The "Size" for: "Desktop/File Manager" doesn't exactly set the size for 
the "File Manager" icons; it sets the *Default* size for the "File 
Manager" icons.

In the menu of the "Icon View" KFM plugin for Konqueror, there is: 
"View -> Icon Size" where you can either select the size or choose 
"Default" which isn't really default but rather is the DeskTop size.

I think that this issue is a result of various changes that have been 
made without thinking the total design through.  But, now it isn't quite 
correct and it needs to be fixed.  Possibly only the strings need to be 
changed.
