[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 80551] Re: openoffice fails to start if scim is the default GTK_IM_MODULE

[Alexander Hunziker]

I *think* the pattern is the following. Please everyone read and verify
:-) My hypothesis is that it's always the same bug, not two bugs.

* Gizmo: linked to libstdc++.so.5, while SCIM is linked to
libstc++.so.6, so this is the "classical" bug that can be circumvented
by using scim-bridge that uses sockets to communicate with the program.
Whatever that means... :-)

* f-spot and Openoffice are linked to the same version of libstdc++, yet
they crash. Now here's my assumption: they use both SCIM *and* some
OpenGL routines. f-spot uses OpenGL for it's slideshow and OpenOffice I
guess uses it for some of the drawing routines. Now, it was observed
that ATI's fglrx seems to be affecting the issue as well. And guess
which libstdc++ it is linked to...? It's libstd++.so.5. In short I think
if programs trigger use of certain routines from the ATI graphics driver
*and* use scim, they crash, so, it's the same bug as the one crashing
applications that are simply linked to libstdc++.so.5.
