--- Comment #7 from Olivier F. R. Dierick <o.dierick at piezo-forte.be> ---
Hello,

"will try to load Gecko from UNIX-style installation"
The wiki is not explicit on that part.

To install UNIX-style (and avoid having Gecko installed in each wineprefix),
you have to download the wine-gecko-<version>-<arch>.tar.bz2 and extract it in
one of the local search paths, for example, in "/usr/share/wine/gecko", so that
the contents of the tar file is there in the
"/usr/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-<version>-<arch>" sub-directory. You have to
do it for both x86 and x86_64 architectures.

wine-gecko is a required internal dependency.
If it were to not be installed, its functions would have to be implemented in
the dependent libraries which would be lots of duplicate efforts.
Not installing Gecko by default is therefore not a valid enhancement.

Marking invalid.

Regards.
