I think you're right that the directory change is causing the problem. I
set up the py2exe subdirectory so that both Zenmap and Ndiff could share
the same Python runtime on Windows. Putting all the executables in the
same directory requires adding only one new directory to PATH.

I don't know why the problem rests with just these few DLLs. All the
other ones appear to be found fine in the py2exe subdirectory.

The bit of code that raises the dialogs is in zenmapCore/Icons.py. Each
little icon used by Zenmap has an SVG version and a PNG version. The
code attempts to load the SVG version and falls back to the PNG. There
are 16 icons at 2 different sizes, which is why you have to click past
32 dialogs. This bit of code could be made not to try loading SVGs on
Windows as a workaround.
