Comment #21 is really good news. I hope these means this "fix" will
trickle own to future releases (or maintenance?) of Ubuntu.

I tried installing just those two packages on my Natty based system, and
it indeed "fixed" the problems I was seeing. To be exact,  I only
routinely run one 32 bit app on my 64 bit machine, agnclient, and with
these new ia32 libs I can now "see" the client dialog. Previously its
contents were barely visible with wrong (or, no) graphics showing up as
intended. Its still not "perfect", but hopefully rest will be improved
as changes flow downstream.  There are now (on my "patched together"
system) messages about

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(eclipse:7230): Gtk-WARNING **: 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS6

Not sure of what effect those warnings/messages are having, but it is
refreshing just to be able to easily see that little dialog again, to
confirm I am "connected" to the internet ... without squinting and
getting my screen angled just right :)

So, helpful as well as hopeful news :)  Thanks.

[To be clear, I am not suggesting anyone install those new libs on
production or stability-required Natty machines (could have side effects
or break something else, as far as I know) ... I am just saying I
appreciate the information ... and hoping there will be some indication
if/when these fixed packages might show up in future versions of Ubuntu.
Thanks again.]
