I don't think so.  If you run the java command from a MS-DOS prompt,
then it tells you about any missing DLL dependency that it cannot load,
and there are no such messages.

As it is Java that is throwing the unsatisfied link error, I believe it
must be the definition of a native method that it cannot find, i.e.
something within the gtkjni-2.4.dll itself, as suggested by a previous
post.  

If it had successfully found the native method and the problem was
something the native method itself was calling, I don't think I would
get a UnsatisfiedLinkError, because it would be out of the JVM's hands
by then.

But I'm no JNI expert, so if someone with more experience could confirm
or deny...
