Libraries will always be searched for in the directories
in ld.so.conf before it looks in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So,
since the 0.20 and current versions have the same shared
library version numbers, it will be difficult to have both
new and old GNOME running at once.

But the new stuff is generally better than the old stuff, so
I'd just 'rpm -e' the old RPMs.
