I guess there is no hope for this. Still present in utopic. Installing a gtk 32 bit application on a 64 bit ubuntu system gives tons of warnings about the wrong elf class (ELFCLASS64) for the engine and the applications shows completely unstyled.
I see this with the nodoka engine. Furthermore, trying to install the 32 version of the engine causes the 64 bit version of the engine to be uninstalled and viceversa because without multiarch they conflict with each other. Plus there have been tons of duplicates not marked as such, one for each possible engine, at times even leading to a solution. For instance, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-qtcurve/+bug/974993 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk2-engines in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902128 Title: Please transition gtk engines to multiarch Status in gtk2-engines package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
