maybe /usr/share/{icons,themes} too

also, if you're running a desktop machine, you may consider installing a 64bit kernel on your 32bit arch [ http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66660 ] so you can use skype, google gears, google earth, wine, firefox with enabled tracemonkey without tricks. no point for 64bit on the desktop ATM IMHO.

You also might what to check out Ghosts packup that makes a list of installed packages and makes them easy to install again.
