The "High Contrast Large Print" and "Low Contrast Large Print" (etc.)
accessibility themes set toolbar etc. icon sizes through gtkrc; one can
do the same locally inside an application via the "gtk-icon-sizes"
property on GtkSettings[1].

You can also set which icon size toolbars take through the
"gtk-toolbar-icon-size" GtkSettings property.  There is actually a
corresponding GConf key, "/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_size", but
there's a bug[2]: the schema has it as an int, but gnome-settings-daemon
expects a string (containing the numeric value of a member of the
GtkIconSize enum).  There is no UI for this[3][4], waiting on the above
bug and working out a sensible UI.
