As of yesterday, it works almost perfect. I did a clean installation on Ubuntu
8.04. Only packages I installed other than the base install were the current
(unstable) Wine 1.1.27 and Ubuntu-restricted-extras. 

I say almost perfect because there was a minor issue installing the Gecko HTML
engine. For reasons I did not dig into, it would not install automatically
while the installer was running. I instead went to Bash and executed "wine
iexplore" and it loaded easily. I then restarted the installation and it went
flawless from there on.

Between this and my testing earlier, I believe this is a "first-run" issue more
than anything else. When I did regression testing, I was unable to replicate
the problem after the first time it worked. Even after deleting everything from
the ~/.wine/drive_c folder that was related to WoW. 

My view would be to mark this resolved, but keep this thread here so that if it
is a first-run bug, others can see to just install the Gecko HTML engine
manually by running "wine iexplore" from Bash.
