Ok, I am re-posting the same above 2 images ( [3] & [4] ), with the
errant 'Text under the icons in the Toolbar' outlined by ellipse;
again : _pl see at full (zoom=100%) magnification_.
Look at the text underneath the toolbar icons - the upper part of the
text under all the toolbar icons is cut-off - this happens for all
apps run in KDE 4.2.1, even KDE 3.5 applications, such as
Gwenview/KDE3.

I don't think I will be able to do any better than this,
image-hosting/editing-wise. And so, will just give up at this point,
if there is no forthcoming solution.
I can live with the slight cutting-off of the Toolbar icon text in KDE
4.2.1. Maybe it will be resolved in KDE 4.2.2 / 4.3.

had you downloaded them and then seen at 100% zoom, it may have been
clearer. Anyway, these 2 new ones are png and with a higher res of
1024 X 768.
