On zesty the issue is still present. A minority of the engines have transitioned to proper multiarch support (e.g., oxygen-gtk). Most of them seem to still have conflicting amd64 and i386 packages (e.g., aurora). Some have the .so file implemented the engine in legacy places (nodoka).

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.
