asoundconf-gtk ignores $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[qqqqqqqqq9]

Binary package hint: asoundconf-gtk

My system GTK+-Version is 2.12, additionally i have 2.14 in /usr/local/lib.
My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib/ ,
therefore asoundconf-gtk should use /usr/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 which it doesn't.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/asoundconf-gtk", line 24, in <module>
    import sys, re, os, pygtk, gtk, string
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_font_map_create_context

If i do ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0

asoundconf-gtk starts without problems.

I'm not sure this is a bug in asoundconf-gtk: it's just a python script. My guess is that you'll suffer this problem with any Python application that uses Gtk+. Is this true? If so, it's a bug in the way Python or PyGtk handles the library path.
