SegFault trying to open Steam

This is very possibly an easy fix, as I've had steam running on this particular box before through wine. However, I've been googling my ass off and looking through the suggested fixes on the appdb to no avail. Let's start with my setup:

OS: Slackware 13.37 (64 bit with working multilib) completely up to date
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT running the most recent linux 64 bit proprietary driver
Wine: 1.2.3 (32 bit, compiled from source, not slackbuild)

So anyway I downloaded winetricks and installed the following as suggested from the appdb steam page: corefonts allfonts tahoma gecko gecko-dbg. With the exception of gecko-dbg which has apparently been removed? It keeps complaining it can't find it, is this really necessary?
I've installed steam (the installer from steam's website) just fine, and it can even start long enough to update itself. But as soon as it gets to where it should ask me for a username / password it seg faults with the following:

Code: Select all

Segmentation fault

I've read that those preloader warnings can be avoided in a number of quick fixes (one being to run it as root). So just for kicks I installed wine as root and gave it another shot, the preloader warnings did go away, but the problem persists. Can anyone make any sense of this?[/code]

sorry that last paragraph should read "...I installed steam as root..." not wine.

Ouch stupidity has struck again... Forgot that I installed the nvidia driver before the multilib packages, so the 32 bit drivers couldn't be found by wine...
