I happen to try hacking this over the weekend to see what would happen. 
  It wouldn't make anything easier or harder to program, since not much 
happens with the HTML control except dumping content into it.  However, 
"GeckoSharp" lacks two critical things that Gtk.HTML has.  First, it has 
no support for hooking into protocols to allow images to be loaded 
directly from resource files, which the Mono handbook needs (last I 
saw).  Second, it lacks programmatic commands for select all and copy, 
which are pretty important.  It may be lacking more, but after those I 
put the whole thing aside.  (On top of that, I couldn't get the 
GeckoSharp example to run.)

So, unless both gtkmozembed (the Mozilla library) and GeckoSharp (the 
Mono library) get a whole bunch of new features, it doesn't look like 
it's possible.
