As I said earlier, this configuration option is generally controlled
by a root window property (this is "xsettings").  Digging around shows
that it wasn't being set by any of our xsettings code, but then I
remembered that it can also be overridden by the GTK+ theme:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/gtk-sato-engine/tree/data/gtkrc-vga

The Sato theme turns it off.  Feel free to patch out
gtk-button-images=0 in your system.

You got the button images when you run it on the device but with
DISPLAY over SSH because it's again using xsettings to detect the
theme to use, doesn't have whatever your desktop is using, and falls
back to Raleigh, which doesn't set this option.
