Well, gmane shows that Duncan sent a second message about this - but 
since I didn't receive it in my mailbox, I can't reply quoting that. 
[Most irritating...]

Anyway, running Leksah today, it doesn't complaing about missing GTK 
DLLs at all, so you must be right about the search path thing. [Now 
instead it crashes with a completely different error.]

I built a copy of Leksah at work, and noticed that I didn't get the 
issue with a missing icon, so apparently the Darcs repo must have 
changed in the last few hours. (Indeed, I guess I could ask Darcs and 
find out!) The copy I built at work [with GHC 6.8.1] worked just fine - 
not that I could figure out how to use it. ;-)
