That works for Desktop icons. But for panel icons, it would be
Right click blank Panel area - choose Configure Panel >> Appearance

[...]
I've figured out what to do to get rid of the huge tooltips:

[buttons]
EnableIconZoom=false

in

~/.kde/share/configure/kickerrc


For me here on Deb 3.1r1 (Sarge) using KDE - it's
Right click blank Panel area - choose Configure Panel >> Layout >>
Appearance
"Enable Icon Zooming" -- right alongside "Tool Tips" (KDE 3.3.2)
(I guess I should've known what you meant when you used the word
"huge"...lol) -- Admittedly, I didn't realize that one could configure
'those' panel options separately from the Desktop - I'm still finding
diff configuration options, buried all over in place, using
KDE...Fonts; for example comes to mind.(styles and sizes), especially
when using Konquerer as both a file manager and a web browser.

But the Configure Panel window (for this user) doesn't have an
Appearance tab. The only tab there is Taskbar. The problem isn't how to
get to the configuration; the problem is that the configuration entries
aren't there. What I want to know is: where is "there"?

The only thing that comes to mind (besides corruption) is that the User
does not have the proper permissions to change/alter it. Look at it
when logged in as root. Possible ? I had issues while I was using xdm
as the DM, instead of kdm -- I experienced some funky stuff like what
you are - plus some (most) setting changes wouldn't stick.

FWIW - I just found yet *another* _Enable tooltips_ checkbox in;
K Control Center >> Appearnace and Themes >> Style

.
