1024x768 is soooo 20th century... ;)

Just out of curiosity I took a look at the Windecos in KDE 4.1.3 and I noticed that the default settings on the "Crystal" theme make for a pretty small Windeco and you can also shrink the title bar height from the default setting of 19. So you could make it pretty tiny if you chose to.

You can do that now.
System Settings ---> Look & Feel ----> Appearance ---> Style
Then click on the "Effects" tab and change the "Text position" to "Icons only.**

You can do that now.
System Settings ---> Look & Feel ----> Appearance ---> Icons
Then click on the "advanced" tab and select "Toolbar". To the right of that is a button that you can change the icon size with (the smallest I see here is 16. It's set by default to 22 - at least in Fedora's KDE 4.1.3).
