OK so i should have tried harder. GRE is the Gecko Runtime Environment, 
which under scratchbox is setup in the /dist/bin folder of the VMWare 
device. I now suppose the question is, is there a GRE already in the 
rootfs somewhere that i need to specify to the GRE_HOME= , or do i need 
to copy all these files somewhere to get the TestGtkEmbed working?

Thanks for you help.
