This is strange because google earth used to work.

The problem is that ia32-libs can not fix this. Policy forbids setting
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH (or any environment variable) globally and we can't
patch libgl because the prebuild i386 lib is used.

So this needs to be fixed properly in the libgl source package. So the
remaining question is what source package is that? The libgl is diverted
by the non-free nvidia driver, right? [ask dpkg about the lib please]
