I think maybe you should forget IE and look to Mozilla.  Thewre is/was a
GTK widget that embeds the Mozilla rendering engine (just the html
engine, nothing else), it is being used for at least one web browser
(Galeon).

There was/is a python wraper for it, that I used briefly with teh python
gtk wrappers and it worked quite well:  

As I understand it the widget has not been ported to teh GTK 2.0
release, so has to be used with gtk 1.x.

On windows there was a browser also useing this widget, but thats all I
know there...
