    This is really a wine issue, not really something to discuss here;
    I've been succesful to run IE in wine versions compiled from source,
    using the second method on that page;
    I currently use wine version "Wine 20040716"; Don't try to use cvs for
    IE (at least that didn't work well here)

    I'd suggest you follow this course of actions:

    - Get rid of anything in ~/.wine (say, `mv ~/.wine ~/.buggy-wine`)
    - download that latest source from their site and untar the tarball
    - run `tools/wineinstall` in that directory; It'll setup a clean ~/.wine
    directory for you with fake windows directories.

    (getting rid of wine is as simple as running `make uninstall` in that
    source directory, and removing the source directory and ~/.wine)

    HTH,

    Joris
