The Garry's Mod on Arch Linux Thread

Question

I haven't seen any chatter about this, so let me start things off:
If you're viewing this thread in the next 37 hours, Garry's Mod is 75% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/
It isn't marked with a Tux icon, but it will show up in your linux games library and you will be able to install it.
However, I wasn't able to run the mod, it gives me the “Could not load library client” error, also described by this user.
I'll post any progress I make here, and if anyone has got it running please post your progess here as well.
Thanks!
After installing lib32-gconf from the AUR (like the blog comment thread I linked to suggested:
$ yaourt --noconfirm lib32-gconf
I was able to attempt to start a game, it exits without an error at the moment though...
