Both your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH need to have the garnome component
_first_, since they scan from beginning to end.

As you have it set up now, it finds all of the GNOME 1.4 stuff before
getting to the GNOME 2 stuff.

I'm assuming here that you are starting things via 'startx', rather than
xdm. Otherwise, all the above stuff (including the PATH, etc) should go
in your $HOME/.xsession file (see the release notes for an example of
this).
