You're right (unless you're using native mshtml.dll), but I don't see any
reason to test that.

I still don't think we should do it. It would require changes both in
mshtml.dll and winetest.exe for no good reason. I'd call the fact that gecko
prompt may be annoying a good thing, as it convinces people to install it
right:)
