How much effort would it be to read the property from gconf if
available (or is this already done when DESKTOP=gnome)?

I prefer small icons, no matter what. Icons are there to preserve
space, provide access to functionality, not to waste my screen-estate
with "pretty pictures". I don't need to guess what people do by
looking at what they depict. (if I'm unsure, I read the
tooltip/extended tip). Of those I use frequently, I don't even look at
the picture, I know where it sits in the toolbar...

$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size
small-toolbar
(as opposed to large-toolbar)
