Hi Loic,

I don't mind having this bug (it can be merged with #323216), but it's
definitely not grave.  The real problem, as the discussion linked at the
end of #323216 indicated, is that gedit trying to dlopen two modules
(the libfile.so mentioned above, and scim's GTK IM module) links to
different versions of libstdc++.  And in despite of libstdc++ getting
built with versioned symbol, this is still causing problems (some
unversioned symbols get into the library anyway).  There is a bug
against gcc-4.0 for this, #328421.

As eventually all packages should be built with GCC 4.0, rebuilding scim
sure won't help.  So do the gedit maintainers want this bug back?  If
not, I'll accept it, downgrade it to normal and merge with #323216.
