[Bug 902128] [NEW] Please transition gtk engines to multiarch

 

Public bug reported:

On 64 bit systems, running 32 bit applications that use gtk is a pain
because gtk tries to load 64 bit versions of the gtk engines.

A typical example of this is acroread.

You get tons of messages like

Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS64

Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libqtcurve.so: wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS64

Furthermore, the apps look orrible.

If I am not wrong, there has been a patch floating around for gtk to fix this.
Please apply it to the ubuntu gtk.

** Affects: gtk2-engines (Ubuntu)
