This is true, in fact I was thinking about add the nominal size near the
labels, at least in preferences dialog. Something like
Extra small (16x16)
Small (24x24)
...
Just for reference, here[1] is the icon size selector for current Apple
Finder, here[2] the same controls for KDE4 Dolphin (in Italian, sorry,
but I think you can understand it).

I don't think the usability issue is related to labels. IMHO Nautilus
should dump the location toolbar, move "zoom" and "view as" controls to
standard toolbar (maybe make it editable too), and keep the pathbar as
"header" for view area.
Attached here is a quick hack on glade. Of course I don't mean we have
to put all that buttons in toolbar.
