TBH it sounds like there's some better methods than my repo coming around, though they're in the early stages. Unfortunately it -does- seem like they're probably temporary work arounds unless the 64-bit launcher gets some changes Linux will need it to have.

I'd give it another few days to see what people are coming up with. There's talk of some wine patches to work around some of the issues. Like I said, they're not permanent fixes, but hopefully we'll get some better options in time from Square.
