Maybe they are not only there to click on? Are they not also a tool for 
organising the visiual view and to give an impression?

On w32 the icons would be stored in emacs.exe and emacsclient.exe. Those 
icon then shows up in a lot of situations:

1) When you view a w32 directory list or file box that includes them.
2) When you view any such list or file box with files that are 
"associated" with any of those exe files. Clicking on them will 
(hopefully) take the action tied to the association (like opening the 
files with emacsclient).
3) On the w32 shortcuts pointing to the exe files. On those you can 
click to start running the exe files. You may most often also use drag 
and drop.

I am not sure if this answer is helpful to you, but since the 
communication delay is quite long I preferred to bit what I think is a 
bit elaborate.
