--- Comment #3 from dino dyvazar@numericable.fr 2013-06-23 08:33:06 CDT --- I understand your explanation; but its quite confusing, and wrong, as the "help menu" display "about Internet Explorer". so if its not possible to get an IE version, then the "help menu" should propose "about wine" instead, or a comment about a "fake IE"

Still valid 1.9.21-git.
Any idea how to fetch wine-gecko version?
The fix would be simple to add.

--- Comment #7 from Alex Henrie alexhenrie24@gmail.com --- Specific versions of Wine require specific versions of Wine Gecko, so there's really no reason to display the Wine Gecko version separately.

--- Comment #8 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- Right, I don't see how it's useful, since you can't switch to different wine-gecko version.

I disagree. At least Debian doesn't ship wine-gecko*. Running iexplore will run, but pages won't load. Loading the about dialog works, and I see the wine version. Ideally, it would show that no gecko version is loaded, instead.
Well, they do, but it's usually out of date since they do a Copyright audit before pushing a new package version, which is usually delayed for quite some time. E.g., the latest is 2.24, https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/wine-gecko-2.24, which is pre 1.8.
