This bug is not fixed. Never has been, and not likely going to be fixed in the near future.

The real reason of this bug is that binaries compiled by g++ is exposing weak symbols that it's not supposed to expose. I heard that since the fix requires an ABI change in libstdc++, it won't get fixed until libstdc++7 is released. There are also many bugs reported in LP that is actually a duplicate of this bug, so please don't close it if there is only a workaround, but no real fix. (The GTK_IM_MODULE=xim fix in acroread is just a work around.)

I'll provide links to other distro's BTS on this bug soon, also marking other bugs reported in LP as a duplicate of this.
