+1 for this, the dependency hell for 32 bit applications is really a major

I wasn't able to resolve all the problems (e.g. Google Earth still doesn't
work on Ubuntu for me)

Actually the first time I stepped onto this (Notes installation, in fact; which we could never get to work) it reminded me a lot of the Windows SysWOW64 mess.

For those that do not know:

32 bit: C:\WINDOWS\system32

64 bit: C:\WINDOWS\system32
32 on 64 bit: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 + the 32 bit software sees that folder as C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Argh.
