Input method in Skype on amd64 after 12.04 breaks

[Hiroshi Miura]

Skype 4.0.0.8 is 32bit qt application.
Input method should be done with qt-immodule, ibus-qt and arbitrary ibus input method engine.

It works well with 32bit(i386) environment but there is a issue in 64bit, amd64 environment.

ibus-qt4 is not multi-arch supported. There cannot co-exist libibus-qt1 :amd64, i386. so I cannot install libibus-qt1:i386.
It make Skype cannot connect with ibus input method engine in amd64 environment.

In 12.04, dependent icu48 also don't support multi-arch, but it support m-a in 12.10.

An attachment is a patch for ibut-qt4 to suport m-a and co-installable i386/amd64 libraries.

I can use input-method in Skype 4.0.0.8 on amd64 environment with this patch and libicu48:i386/amd64 from 12.10.
