how to remove icon labels in gtk applications without gui tools?

so, here's the question: i'm running awesome and some gtk applications (delguge etc) and i would like to remove the icon labels in the top toolbar.
usually in gnome it's easy: just go to preferences - appearance and there you can choose "show icons only" option.
but is there a way to do that without gnome gui tools. perhaps there's something i can add to gtkrc...

so, any ideas?

Add this line in your .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT

Edit...
Mental note: read more carefully before post
Yes, is GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS instead of GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT.

gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT

This line will remove the icons and leave only the text. You want GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS.

Or you could run gnome-settings-daemon in every other WM you use so you don't have to set everything twice.....
