Note that wmctrl didn't work a few months ago if you tried to compile a 
64-bit wmctrl and use it.  32-bit wmctrl works fine under emulation.  
OOO doesn't compile or work properly in 64-bit, but the 32-bit version 
works fine under emulation.  Also, epsxe doesn't work *at all* under 
64-bit.  That and the fact that there was no noticable speed difference 
between 32- and 64-bit on my desktop is why my desktop is now running 
as an x86-32.
