I'm not really sure about this, since I haven't yet upgraded from Win95, but
does 98 have the 64k GDI limit?  If so, that's the problem: gtk-win32 stores
all of its pixmaps as bitmaps, and it loads waaaay more than 64k of pixmaps.
I've been fiddling on and off with a workaround for this, but it's not even
ready for testing yet.
