SLOT ;)

gnome-panel 1.4 and 2.x are mutually nonintrusive (this -r2 is a fix for
1.4 so it won't overwrite 2.x's screenshooter util) and they will both
stay happily in your system

the reason you might have gnome-panel 1.4 installed might be that you
have some gnome program that wants to install a panel applet, but is
still at the gtk-1.2 era (gnome 1.4 ). This makes the panel applet
incompatible with the new gnome-panel, so it pulls in the old gtk 1.2
panel, and builds nicely against it. (in fact you can actually run the
gnome 1.4 panel on a gnome2 desktop : "panel &" ;)
