Not possible. Unfortunately, the gtkhtml view was not maintained by
anybody and had many bugs, so it was just disabled. Of course if
somebody wishes to work on it, that is ther perogative. But i recommend,
someone try to make the EBrowser control in gtkhtml "integrate" with
Nautilus (I think that would be better than working on the existing
gtkhtml component in Nautilus).

Like I said though, nobody is working on this, so contributions on this
regard would be nice.

There is a preferences option in the latest CVS Head nautilus that
allows you to let Nautilus take over desktop functionality. I think you
can also do a 'nautilus --start-desktop' (note: if it nautilus
--start-desktop doesn't work, do a nautilus --help and figure out what
the correct option is)
