** GTK tool bars can have just text, just images or images and text.
Customize `tool-bar-style' to choose style. On a Gnome desktop, the
default
is taken from the desktop settings.
BTW, I couldn't figure out how to customize it in Gnome. I do remember
seeing such an option somewhere (maybe in gnome-appearance-properties)
at some point in the past, but I can't seem to find it any more.
There used to be an Interface tab in Appearance but it has been removed
by the Gnome people. I guess that is logical, as they seem to move
towards a customization-free desktop. They decided that both-horiz (icon
followed by text) is what everybody should have.
Now you have to edit gconf directly either with gconf-editor or with
% gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style
both
Other values are both-horiz, text or icons.
