Just did a C-h f for file-executable-p:
`file-executable-p' is a built-in function
(file-executable-p FILENAME)

Documentation:
Return t if FILENAME can be executed by you.
For a directory, this means you can access files in that directory.

This means that as far as XEmacs is concerned, the behaviour is
correct and should report t.

So this is really a bug inside emacs-w3m.

Anyhow, installing ImageMagick, and having the path environment
properly updated as reported in my previous reply, solved my problem.

So I remain a very happy customer :)
