Firefox + Flash (Flash is 32-bit only) There are open alternatives that work 64 bit native (let's be honest, flash 7 is broken anyway what is the big deal if certain sites crash the player or won't play at all?)
OpenOffice Understandable here, everyone needs an office suite but there is a 64 bit native version that may have a few bugs to work through, consider that version. Cedega Is a worthless pile of trash that has not changed enough in the past 1 1/2 years of my subscription to justify $5 a month, use WineHQ. It is free and works just as well if not better, so what if you have to download a fixed .exe to get around the copy protect? Do not buy into the false advertising that The Elder Scrolls 4 will run when it requires a third party patch to even start, not to mention a host of other issues that Transgaming has brought to the table. Wine see above. That leaves you with two reasons to have a 32bit chroot, hardly a headache but it is after all your choice. Myself I have been using a 32bit chroot mainly for the video codices and wine since before the release of Sarge and have not had a single problem that wasn't my fault not to mention having the best of both worlds, which is what the AMD64 architecture was designed to provide.

The answer is really easy: if you feel it's a pain then switch back to the 32bit. I am perfectly happy with my 64bit setup, but the only thing I need 32bit are OO.o and Opera, which is more than bearable. Not sure about the performance increase anyway, so maybe you are really better off with the 32bit Debian.
