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,
