AFAIR, this popup appears whenever a DLL is in the PATH but is not
executable. I don't think there's an easy way of convincing Windows to
keep control in the application after this (short of using dlopen() for
all dynamically linked calls, and checking the return value -- which you
don't really want to do). If you discover a way (MSDN would be a good
start), PTC.

This one's easy. Just do "which libICE.dll" in your shell, and add that
directory to the PATH. I bet it's in "/usr/X11R6/bin"...
