On X11, when I start `emacs', the first thing that happens is to open
a frame, with the toolbar, and only after that is the .emacs
file loaded.

So how can Emacs-22 on W32 avoid loading the image libraries before
loading the .emacs, other than by not displaying the tool-bar, and if so
how does it avoid displaying the tool-bar before loading the .emacs?
