Why are the icons on the desktop by default 48 pixels big? 22 pixels is the right size - and if too small for the user then the user can adjust the size upwards.)
Is that on 800x600 resolution? At decent resolution 48px looks to me somewhere between too small and just right
No, this is at a resolution of 1680x1050 (which is what I have) and above (1920x1200 as used by a friend of mine).
I agree hearthfully on this: The ICONS ARE TOO BIG! KDE4 the are even bigger, and the recent smaller ones ar too big also. The desktop is what you are looking at: You'll have to like it, or adjust it to your likings. So it *has* to be adjustable. Make them smaller, and adjustable up and downwards, to fit the resolutions of the monitors around, these days.
The title text for the icons seems tied to the icon size. As you can see on http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/icons-48px-desktop-suse110-1920x1440x144.jpg it is impossible with the amount of text allocated to 48px icons to distinguish between the various shares shown on the desktop. IOW, the icons are too small.
Better for usability reasons to start bigger rather than smaller, because if smaller to start with, it's harder to reconfigure.
What? If you can configure them to be smaller you can configure them to be bigger! And the text under them is NOT connected to how big the icons are. You ARE using openSUSE when you are making these statements aren't you?
