TODO #1: GNOME 1.x and 2.0 interoperability

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Three things need to be done:

a) Make sure you can install GNOME 1.x and 2.0 under the same
   prefix, currently this doesn't work.

   [Medium priority: blocks binary packages, but at the moment
                     we aren't doing any binary packages and the
                     vicious-build-scripts install everything into
                     a different prefix anyways.]

b) OAF - make sure than you can run GNOME 2 applications with
         the GNOME 1.x oafd and vice-versa.

   [High priority: Blocks almost everything, especially testing on a GNOME 1.x
                   desktop.]

c) GCONF - GConf is optional in GNOME 2 since we're using bonobo-config,
           but it needs to be fixed anyways. At the moment, you cannot start
           any GNOME 1.x applications while the GNOME 2 gconfd is running and
           vice-versa.

   [Low priority: GConf is optional in GNOME 2 core libraries and this is no API
                  critical bug.

   [High priority - post-API-freeze: This will become high priority when people
      start porting their GNOME 1.x applications which are already using GConf.]
