Hi Peter,

as requested here's the info. I believe that the "using ..." output
of xetex --version correctly show the installed versions being used.

uvi at uvi-desktop:~$ /opt/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/xetex --version

Hope this helps.

P.S: Given that Ubuntu provides both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of all 
the shared libraries, I did a quick experiment today. I installed the 
i386-linux (32-bit) binary for xetex (checked out directly from svn) and 
gave it a try. That version works out of the box on Ubuntu-10.4 and 
produces correct results with Unicode math fonts. If all else fails with 
the 64bit binary, I coud indeed switch to using the 32bit binary as a 
workaround on Ubuntu.
