It's purely cosmetic. The icon display code isn't part of the system
software, each extension includes it's own copy. Some include older
versions which can't cope with things like two rows of icons or misbehave
in other peculiar ways.

Now Utilities Startup manager includes some code to regulate them, and I
believe there are some freeware extensions that will tidy up your rows of
extensions for you too.
