I didn't actually expect aything to be done about the close icons in the end anyway, but have tested it now too, and here are my results. I get the same effect with the small close icons. Attached is a screenshot of Geany, GEdit and Gnome Terminal. The icons in GEdit and Gnome terminal seem identical, but Geany ones are smaller. However tab size remains the same.

Slightly off-topic, but the TabMix Plus extension for Firefox has an option I really like, that is to show the close button only on the active tab. This helps prevent accidently closing a tab while clicking to activate it. So, even if you don't the the way the X's look, at least you could have fewer of them :-)
The thing with this feature is some people like it, and some people don't. My flatmate uses the Ubuntu Human theme on Firefox (firefox-themes-ubuntu), because it doesn't show the close button on anything but the active tab. I can't stand it, and use the the Ubuntu Tango theme on Firefox myself (also part of firefox-themes-ubuntu), it shows close buttons on all tabs, which is what I want. So thing thing is, I wouldn't want to see it in Geany either, unless it was through a plugin.
