I thought that you can't have IA32_emulation without multilib ... 

Is there a reason why you don't go for a usual desktop profile with multilib?  
I'll repeat the advice I was given in this list sometime around last Christmas 
(but can't find the thread now): you're bound to find some pesky application 
which is only available in 32bit and then you'll curse for having to 
reinstall.
