Since the update to Natty, I get the same errors for Firefox 4.0.1:

Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading icon: Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Is there a workaround? Something to force GTK to load the 32bit library on my 64bit Ubuntu? I have ia32-libs installed.

PS: You may want to check with OpenSUSE how they handle 32/64bit libraries. I've been using a 64bit system for roughly five years and ran all kinds of software on that and I never had even a single problem with 32/64bit (ok, sometimes I had to install the 32bit version of a library ... but after that, everything just worked). On Ubuntu, 32bit support on 64bit systems feels much more brittle.
