But it's necessary for any gtk-using RPM on the system, or any
gtk-using binary compiled on a stock Red Hat system. And someone
building a gtk-using program on an Athena Red Hat box should not have
to look into /usr/athena/lib for libraries (although they may wind up
doing so by accident because of the mutant *-config scheme used by
gnome packages).
Also, arguing from precedent, we don't delete the Kerberos libraries
shipped by Solaris just because we build our own.
You shouldn't be having a problem because there are two sets of
libraries. If you are, someone's build system is broken.
