This is from Mandrake 10.2, so getting to the KDE Control Panel might be a 
little different. The standard icon looks like a little green circuit 
board and newer versions also have a monitor with a black screen. On this 
laptop, it's Menu -> System -> Configuration -> Configure your computer.

Once you find and start the control panel, choose LookNFeel, Style, and the 
Miscellaneous tab. You will find a dropdown which says:

    Text position: [ Text Under Icons ]

The other options are: Text Alongside Icons, Icons Only, Text Only.

While you're there, do a tour of the control panel. It's an education in 
itself.
