Short answer:
Don't worry.

Long answer:
What is "Gecko"? IIRC, it was a term introsuced by Netscape for
marketing purposes. The definitions I heard are diverging a lot. The
lowest common determinator of them is "something to embed that renders
HTML and originates at the Mozilla project".

The term "Mozilla" is even much more overloaded.

As far as I know, neither Gecko nor Mozilla Navigator currently use
native (i.e. GTK in your case) widgets, but Mozilla's own cross-platform
widget set "XPToolkit" instead, e.g. for forms in webpages.

As soon as you embed the rendering engine, all widgets it is responsible
for are the forms in webpages. The hosting application is responsible
for the chrome (bookmarks, status ans location bar etc.) then. Not sure
about the scrollbars.
