XMetaL and wine 1.1.28

wine 1.1.28 (the current wine-unstable package in Debian) breaks my old XMetaL 3.1 installation. The application starts but complains about Gecko not being installed, helpfully offers to install it... and then nothing. If I stop the installation, XMetaL starts but crashes soon afterwards, probably because XMetaL needs IE components, not Gecko.

I'm sure it's fixable, somehow, but I'm not sure I'll bother. Oxygen runs without problems and all I need is a good enough XML editor.
