Odd. You don't have a full compliment of the usual GTK apps
installed?

I probably should have mentioned that Xdialog is a GTK+ app and
it needs to be installed and working on your platform.

In thoery, you could get it to work under Windows, but the last
time I checked, the Windows port of GTK+ was still a bit "beta".
