There are a set of icons that are built into a source header file 
gtkbuiltincache.h that's actually generated during the autotools build 
process (as you might see, it's a pretty big file) where the 
gtk-update-icon-cache processes the icon image files to produce the 
header, which is then included by the sources, so this means that the 
icons data are built in the GTK+ DLL/.so (as the header file name would 
most likely give a clue for this).

Hope this answers your question.

With blessings.
