as of today, "winetricks gecko" triggers the download dialog box :-(
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.
Those users are already accustomed to using winetricks, so I should probably make 'winetricks gecko' implement those steps. Sadly, that means it will have to use sudo, which is kind of ugly.
I'm sad that this change happened; it makes things harder for me. I can't figure out why gecko is needed for, say, cmd.
Why did you make that change?
For now I've reverted the change locally until I implement the sudo-ized gecko verb. - Dan
