So It seems there is a solution about wine always downloading gecko (even if you previously downloaded it) when a new wine prefix is created. This could be not much of a problem for high speed broad band internet users, but for the rest of us is a PITA :-°
So here you go:
http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko
BTW, it would be nice if POL devs could some day implement a way of doing this automatically. Just a suggestion of course.
Have a nice day.
Edit 1: When you create new wineprefix with POL the system wine version is used by default, so if you have not installed it, wine will ask you to install gecko anyway even if you plan to use another wine version for the newly created prefix... Maybe POL should ask for a wine version by the time you create a wineprefix? so you are not forced to download gecko needlessly if your system wine version doesn't have/need it.
