Had the same problem using the latest ies4linux on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). For me, the start up script fix did the trick.
I also found several rogue explorer.exe processes as well as IEXPLORE and winserver. After killing all these, modifying the script as above, and running the modified script I had absolutely no problems.
It looks like the script's piping to the debug is fouling things up; perhaps this was left in accidentally by the author during development.
