(Get the code!)
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.
