This is a problem, usability-wise. It leaves very little space for actual work, and unless you work on almost full screen, you usually won't even see all the icons on the toolbar because the last ones on the right are clipped.
Is it possible to somehow make inkscape ignore the current global gtk theme and use its own icon and widget sizes?
It's definitely possible, but not a good idea.
Applications are supposed to follow the sizes set by the system. If they don't, it's a bug.
The better solution would be to follow what the system allows for. Just Change the gtk theme settings for Inkscape and the application should obey that.
As far as clipped icons on the toolbar go, GTK should give you a drop- down to access them. And in the post-0.46 timeframe we'll be able to expose the internal XML used to dynamically create the toolbars.
