There is some setting in gconf-editor that allows the sane behavior back 
to text. I have the text working without needing to ctl-L or hit the / 
character first. I checked all I could figure until the thing started 
working correctly. I don't remember what it was code named. A simple 
text in browser on "No dumb icons" would have been clearer.

This nuisance with practically worthless icons vs. text should be one 
thing that is changed on the road away from dumb Novell ideas and the 
new partnership with the biggest pirate calling others the pirates.

Damned annoying feature. Why it is getting harder to configure items to 
a specific preference is getting to be a distraction also.
