I suspect you need to install additional ia-32 support libs, not just libXtst.i386.
On Debian/Ubuntu there's a ia32-libs meta package that installs them all, but I'm
not sure what it's called on Fedora.  You may be able to find it with something
like "yum list available ia-32" or "yum list available i386".
