Wine + Steam setup

Question

Hello all,
New to the arch scene, and enjoying my time here so far..
I just finished setting up my x86_64 system and proceeded to get wine installed. I saw that there's only a 32-bit version, so I did a pacman -U install of the bin32-wine package found at the Arch Linux Gaming Repository. Upon completion, I was able to start wine, meddle around in winecfg, and run winetricks to get the gecko package installed.
I downloaded Steam. The install went fine, then Steam attempted to start. It did it's download, then closed, then reopened with the new theme (but not the entire program, just that download window), continued to download to 100%. Once the download was complete, I awaited for Steam to start, but it did not.
I restarted Steam and found the following:
wine "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steam.exe"
fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000000): partial stub.
CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . .
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 765
Current serial number in output stream: 765
I assumed this error is related to my X configuration or the video driver. X is running with Catalyst 10.4, and I installed the lib32-catalyst-utils package.
My question is this: where did I go wrong?

Set it to Windows 7 and Steam started up just fine. Now to see how it handles playing a game...
edit: That was it. Games launch and everything works perfectly. Although Steam was nice enough to inform me that Windows 2000 support would be ending soon.
I knew I was close
