I was referring to the fact that the mockup bypasses the gnome default of
big icons + text and instead uses small icon, no text.

Was referring to, as it's implied here, the web browser standard:
+ 1. Back, forward, up, stop, reload, home, zoom, a location bar --
+ these are the same controls available in my web browser that I know and
+ love. Why do they look so different here? They take up so much more
+ space, and they occupy two toolbars where my web browser needs only one.
Nothing personal, just my comments on the proposed design.
Personally I feel that the issues identifies might not be applicable to all
users and a proper usability study should be conducted beforehand. Remember
that even the best interface designer is biased ;)
