Bug#636536: applications fail with multiarch libgtk2.0-0: libgail.so not found

[Roderich Schupp]

Package: libgnome2-0
Version: 2.32.1-1
Severity: important

Start any application linked with libgnome2-0, e.g. dia-gnome or gvim
from vim-gnome, while you have the new multiarch libgtk2.0-00 installed:

  (dia-gnome:4047): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module
  'libgail' which is needed to make this application accessible
  **
  ERROR:accessible.c:556:spi_accessible_construct: assertion failed: (o)
  Aborted

Reason is that libgnome2 can't find the GTK module libgail.so
which is now in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so.
Note that when looking for accessibility modules libgnome does _not_
use the glib module loading functions (which are patched to look
both into the multiarch and "classic" directories). Instead it does
its own search which doesn't know about multiarch.

Cheers, Roderich
