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.
