What is the practical consequences of using sawfish linked against gnome1
libraries on a system that has many apps linked with newer
gnome2 libraries?

Maybe the real answer here is that the gnome2 libraries should be
uploaded, and applications that don't break existing configs can start
compiling with them while ones that need fixing can be kept with the
gnome1 versions?

Or is it the actual _libraries_ that have somehow broken so they can't use
old config files?
