You can always change them by hand, using the gconf-editor program or editing the actual config
file. The gconf key is /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style. The possible values are "both",
"both-hoirz", "icons", and "text". I think what you want is "text".

gconf-editor is a GUI that makes it easier to change the gconf keys. The gconf files themselves
reside in /etc/gconf and ~/.gconf.
