[Panel-devel] [PATCH] Smaller toolbox with icons

[Craig Duquette]

Wouldn't there be a ton of whitespace potentially though?

For example:
ICON "OMG look a large action description!!"
ICON "Zoom in"
even if they were the same size it wouldn't look that great.

I still like the central QLabel idea, but I'd like to know Aaron's
opinions on the subject.
