I've got a few ideas.

1) Try Firefox instead of Konqueror.  There is an ActiveX plugin for
Firefox (although I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Linux version
of Firefox).  I've not used it myself, just because of my aversion to
ActiveX in general.

2) Get Wine Tools.  It comes with an older IE 6 Downloader that doesn't
require you to "validate your Windows installation"

Unfortunately, (unlike in Fedora Core) there is no Wine Tools
Debian/Ubuntu package.

There is a tarball though (I think it's source - I'm not sure).
