I have noticed a long time that the default(and majority of other themes)
theming is just fat for Gtk+. Luckily the past year some nice themes have
appeared on www.gnome-looks.org. They usually have the keyword "compact" in
their name. Do a search on gnome-look and you'll find them. Study them to see
if they have solved your problems.
