The bad news is that the default can't be changed till KDE 4 because it would 
be incompatible with the rest of KDE 3.  The good news is that many people 
have already been talking about this for KDE4 and it will probably happen 
then.

For now you can change the default icon size and toolbar text on your desktop 
in the control panel.
