As far as I recall, icons and other small images are usually cached by
the X server, with a certain amount of control from the client.  So
I'm *guessing* that the administrative part is simply to keep around
references to images stored in the server process.  I haven't dived in
that part of the code yet, so I don't really know.

Cheers,
Richard
