Mailing List Archive: Conflicting packages?

I think I may have made a boo boo when I first emerged the system and it
was carried over when I did the emerge world.

In my Desktop menu on the gnome desktop I have a settings option.
Contained in this is Desktop, Document Handlers, Multimedia,
Peripherals, File types and programs, and Gnome Control Center. This
would generally not be a bad thing, I would think, except every one of
these options bring me to a window that says gnome control center, but
does not look like the "real" gnome control center that you get when you
go to Applications > Settings > Gnome Control Center, which brings up a
window titled Desktop Preferences. Searching control-center in porthole
I have 2.10.1-r1 installed under slot 2 and 1.4.0.5-r1 installed under
slot 1. My guess is that these are conflicting.

Am I right in guessing this, and if so doesn anyone know how to fix this?

As an update to this I figured out that that old control-center does do
something, but I never noticed before because until now I never had
anything built on gtk1, now I just built gtk-gnutella on gtk1

So thanks, but I would still like to know if they should be able to
co-exist together without conflicting.
