if gtkmozembed available default to that as rendering engine instead of gtkTextView
it gives us less headache. we write XHTML and we have CSS. eg we rock
gtkmozembed is not a gnome dep unless ffox or mozilla suite is built with GNOME
eg an ldd PATH_TO/components/libimgicon.so in an XFCE4 or GNUStep user without GNOME or with FFOX built without GNOME may be very informative.
we then need to have a custom makefile to distribute gecko [modify what gpe use]
at the moment I think we can ask if you want gecko rendering just install gpe
