           Summary: wine_gecko download hangs when not started by iexplore
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.48.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: alexeagar at gmail.com

The wine_gecko download hangs when it is started by some programs other than
iexplore. I have experienced this in many different versions of iTunes when
accessing the help documentation. It also occurs in Framemaker 8 as documented
in bug 9658.

The current workaround is to run 'wine iexplore http://winehq.org' which
succeeds in downloading and installing wine_gecko.

I wanted to avoid logging this bug by changing the summary of bug 9658 to make
it more generic but I couldn't find a way to change tho summary. Although this
bug was logged after bug 9658, I think that bug 9658 is the duplicate because
the behavior is not specific to Framemaker8. I apologize if this bug should not
have been logged.
