TortoiseHg bends over backwards to avoid problems like these.  The
first thing hgtk.exe does is insert its own gtk/ folder at the start
of the system PATH so it _should_ find its own DLLs first.  However
GTK has its own DLL loading logic that ignores the PATH and looks in
places like C:\Windows.

I suggest looking for older GTK DLLs lying about in your system path
and see if they can be removed (note that tortoisehg does not place
any GTK DLLs in the PATH, because they are not properly versioned).

As a last measure, you can use one of the preview installers of the Qt
port of TortoiseHg available at
http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/downloads.
