It is a Microsoft error message, so your Windows is translating it,
not R. It does say 'The specified module' in English Windows, without
saying who specified the module (but it does often produce a popup
naming the module).
I've no better idea what your problem is: the @ReadMe instructions
work for me, Uwe on winbuilder and in our teaching lab (and the advice
in RGtk2 does not).

Dear list,
I've been trying to get gWidgets/gWidgetsRGtk2 to run
every other month for a while, but somehow I simply can't
figure out what's going wrong.
Your subject line indicates your confusion. It does not say
RGtk2.dll cannot be found (at least, the English version of the
message does not say so).
What it means is that RGtk2.dll or one of the DLLs it depends on
cannot be found. See the instructions at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/@ReadMe
It is Microsoft's error message, not ours.
Thanks for your answer. I followed the advice in the readme file and installed
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.0-201010
16_win32.zip
Previously I made sure that all other previously installed GTK+ runtime
environments were removed and that the windows PATH reflects the correct path to
the "new" GTK+ files. I also made sure I started a new R session before trying
'require(gWidgetsRGtk2)' again. Yet, the same error. More precisely, a dialog
box
pops up asking me to install GTK+ or not. That's what's confusing me as well:
the
package's recommendation with respect to the version of an GTK+ runtime
environment is somewhat out-of-sync with the advice in the readme, even though
it
the version is fairly recent (2011-04-30)
Sorry for the german part in the error message, but I wasn't able to get it all
to English (tried language = en in Rconsole file, setting up a Renviron.site
with
LANGUAGE=en, setting Sys.setenv("LANGUAGE"="en") and Sys.setenv("LC_ALL"="en")
to
no avail; not a good R day today ;-)). I freely translated it for you:

If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is installed and
that
it is on your PATH environment variable
IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN
Error : .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'gWidgetsRGtk2', details:

Do you have any other idea what I might be doing wrong?

Janko
I tried several distributions of the GTK runtime
environment for Windows
(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-2.12.9-win32-1.exe
as described in the package's
vignette,http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101
227_win32.zip)
I also included GTK in my Windows PATH.
Yet, when I run 'require(gWidgetsRGtk2)', R complains
that the RGtk2.dll can't be found/loaded (see below). But
this file definitely exists. I'm running R-2.13.0 from a
USB Device but made sure that args 'destdir' and 'lib'
are set propperly in 'install.packages'.
