See http://www.winehq.org/?issue=285#MSHTML%20Update. I'd really like to use Linux Gecko, but it's impossible because we'd need XEmbed embedder support that's impossible to implement in Wine (perhaps if we added what we need to XEmbed spec?). That's why MSHTML uses Windows Gecko.
OK. What exactly *do* we need from XEmbed? Is this because we can no longer use child X windows?
I think Alexandre can give you the best answer. Yes, the problem is mostly because of lack of child X windows. The main thing we'd have to add to XEmbed spec is clipping but probably there will be more problems. And I have no idea if freedesktop guys will accept what we need as clipping in XEmbed spec is useless for most apps (probably everyone except Wine).
