Well, I started the command from a konsole prompt and was able to see
exactly when IE crashed. Turns out it was an OpenGL error due to
restrictive permissions on devices nVidia has. Luckily, when the Video
driver bombed, a message came up about that:

Error: Could not open /dev/nvidiactl because the permissions
are too restrictive. Please see the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
section of /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for steps
to correct.

Of course, reading the doc allowed me to change the perms and everything
works normally. Not sure why the permissions were NOT a problem when
launching a window manager from a terminal instead of a Login Manager, but
at least I was able to resolve the issue. Thanks
