OK, here's how I'm saying it:
*************************
<para>
	GNOME 2 may be installed in parallel with the GNOME 1.4.1 	release
	libraries, allowing you to use GNOME 2's primary desktop 	functions
	&mdash; panels, Nautilus, etc. &mdash; while also running 	applications
	that have not yet been ported and therefore still require GNOME 	1.4
	libraries.
	<note>
	  <para>
	    For some GNOME 1.x apps, you need the GNOME 1.x 	control-center
(eg:
	    gnome-pilot for use in evolution).
	  </para>
	</note>

      </para>
 *****************
I wouldn't mind if someone wants to say something more elaborate, or
enumerate all the apps that might clash because newname=oldname.
Cheers,
John
