People with low resolutions screens tends to use smaller stuff in their UI to save space. Here is a tips on how to reduce the size of your GTK toolbar icons etc. Its quite hard to google for, so I dump it here. I found this tip @ http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10961

Step 1.
Create a file named .gtkrc-2.0 at your home folder if it haven't yet exist

Step 2.
Add this line into the file

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=16,16:panel=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16\
:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-button=16,16"

Step 3.
Logout and relogin (or you can juz kill all your gtk apps and restart it)
