I meant to write "wasn't possible" . Sorry about that.

It is all a bit confusing - see 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533806) I think the last time I tried both, I did encounter the problem with 
'/home/myuzer/.wine' is a 32-bit prefix, it cannot be used with 64-bit
Wine.

I think a wiki/FAQ could be useful - there is an FAQ somewhere which says one should use a different prefix for 32-bit wine vs 64-bit wine on platforms which can do both. My concern is that I have a fairly big ${HOME}/.wine and I'd prefer to continue to use it, or at least it doesn't get messed up if I switch to 64-bit wine.
