I am still using gnome 1.4 I think. I know I am not using 2.0, so 
assume I can only have one gtk-engines installed. I further assume that
the version I have installed needs to work with my current env.
I currently am using gtk-engines-0.11-10 part of the RedHat 7.3 distro.

So would the newer gtk-engines be backwards compatible?

Meaning if I install a newer version, will it break other dependencies,
or work fine?
