Trine does not work in Ubuntu 12.04 (error libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest)

After having received the following error message,. I had to do somes searching for a solution to the Trine error.

$ '/home/todd/trine/trine-launcher32'

/home/todd/trine/trine-launcher32: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest

How to fix it:
1. Rename "lib32" folder in "trine" directory to "lib32-oryg"
2. Create empty "lib32" folder
3. In terminal run

ldd '/home/yourusername/trine/trine-launcher32' (or more aptly, the path to trine-launch32)

to find out what's missing
4. Copy what was missing from "lib32-oryg" to "lib32"
5. In terminal run

ldd '/home/yourusername/trine/trine-bin32'

to find out what's missing
6. Copy what was missing from "lib32-oryg" to "lib32"

Finally in "lib32" folder are the following files (only):
libavcodec.so.51
libboost_regex.so.1.35.0
libcxcore.so.1
libPhysXLoader.so.1
libavformat.so.52
libboost_system.so.1.35.0
libicudata.so.38
libavutil.so.49
libboost_thread-mt.so.1.35.0
libicui18n.so.38
libboost_filesystem.so.1.35.0
libcv.so.1
libicuuc.so.38

Game starts now!
