I think you are a bit confused ;) First, glibc2 and glibc2.1 are binary
compatible. Second, gnome is dynamically linked, and will happily use
the glibc2 that you happen to have. It should work with glibc2.1 as
well, because of the binary compatibility.

I have the gnome 1.0 rpms installed and most things work, but there are
a few screwups. I suggest you wait until there are new packages out
that fixes those problems (some with control-center and maybe some
more).
