This actually isn't quite the right list, but I wanted to ask if you found
a way around your difficulties. It seems to me that your actual situation
isn't solvable in *one* installation.

Have you thought about creating a VM with your "64 bit Kubuntu OS with 32
bit libraries installed" to use when you do your Android studio work, and a
regular install you can use with Latte Dock?

An alternative would be two side by side installs. If you need 32 bit
libraries, why not just install an i386 image to one partition, and the
stock amd64 to the other?
