Hi, Ross:

I got your point, but my patch was not tring to address the conflict of 
binaries or libraries, that kind of conflicts would not cause build 
error, as you pointed out, only ever a single instance be installed at 
one time. It's actually tring to fix a conflict of conf file, if the 
gconfd-2 is put into libexec directory, we have to keep a path like 
/usr/lib64/gconf/gconfd-2(or /usr/lib/gconf/gconfd-2 in lib32 case) 
referring it in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.GConf.service which 
will cause the conflict.

the best,
thank you
