@Ernest
click on "Tools/Options/View/Icon size" and choose "small"

@Samuel
the new save icons takes more space than the old one since there's the dropdown
triangle next to it... it takes the space of 1 and 1/2 normal button.

so I suppose that those extra pixels may cause annoyance in netbooks with small
screen and moreover it may happen that the user clicks on the triangle instead
of the icon.

having said that, I think that the best thing would be to have both "save
button" methods in LibO. user could easily customize their toolbars with the
one they prefer to use.
