        I currently have issues with killing all my evolutions when I
oaf-slay, and monikers getting mixed between Gnome 2.0 and Gnome 1.4
causing extreme wierdness :-)
  
        So, I would suggest two things:
  
                * Have oafd2 renamed, so we can run both
 
                * possibly allow oafd2 to activate components for use in  
                  the gnome 2.0 environment, that are wrapped / proxied 
                  versions of gnome 1.4 components
  
        I think the 2nd is a separate issue, so yes - I think we need a   
run-time parallel install, otherwise no component software will work well
from Gnome 1.4.
  
        Does that help / make sense ?
  
                Michael.
