Re: Gnome2?

hi,

GNOME 2 consists of two components, gnome2 libraries and gnome2 
applications. Both gnome1 and gnome2 libraries can coexist. However you 
cannot have two versions of an application. But applications compiled for 
gnome1 would work just fine. What that means is after you install gnome2 
beta, gnome1 applications such as evolution, galeon would work just fine. 
But if you choose to install gnome2 version of nautilus, you have to 
remove gnome1 version of nautilus.
