You can use strace to check, example output:

$ strace emacs |& grep access | grep /images
faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/images/new.xpm", R_OK) = 0
faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/images/open.xpm", R_OK) = 0
faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/images/diropen.xpm", R_OK) = 0
faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/images/close.xpm", R_OK) = 0
faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/images/save.xpm", R_OK) = 0
