Hi Dan,

Hi Jacek, as of today, "winetricks gecko" triggers the download dialog box :-( Presumably this was caused by http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2009-November/061489.html
Even if I rearrange the script so there are no invocations of wine before unpacking gecko, it still puts up the dialog box when I run regedit to tell wine about the gecko I unpacked!
Got any suggestions?
The plan is that winetricks should not be used for installing Gecko. Users really should use packagers. People compiling Wine themselves should read this: http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko If it's not clear enough, we should fix it.
BTW, I've just noticed that we should also change the text in download dialog. Here is my proposal: "Wine could not find a Gecko package which is needed for applications embedding HTML to work correctly. Wine can automatically download and install it for you. Note: it's recommended to use distro packages instead. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko for details." Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Jacek
