I think both GtkMozilla and GtkGecko is the same thing. Gecko is
the codename for Mozilla's rendering engine. Mozilla refers to the
overall product. I must admit that calling it GtkMozilla seems
misleading because it's actually a widget with the rendering engine,
not the entire mozilla (menu bar, back button, and all).

However, I can understand the points people are bringing up regarding
themes. I'm assuming this is refering to the themes of buttons,
input-forms, and toolbars shown inside a web-page, and whether they
will follow the current gtk theme or not.

Will they?

Of course, maybe I have no clue what I'm talking about.
