[Wine] Explorer - DirectX and ActiveX

[A. Tres Finocchiaro]

The reason IEs4Linux doesn't always work is because it uses its own wine
prefix.  Do you know what version of directx this uses?  The answer "don't
ask here" is a bad answer since IEs4Linux only runs on wine.

IEs4Linux draws flash pages well, and that requires direct rendering, so it
would be premature to say a custom wine environment is the culprit.

There used to be an activex compatible plugin for firefox.  Might be worth
installing to see if the errors are different in a vanilla wine
environment....
