Yes, maybe I did it all wrong, but actually I ended up with the 64bit
version being removed and yast2 complaining about a load of
dependencies. (If I can digress for a moment, one problem with yast2 is
that when there's a problem it doesn't necessarily offer you the direct
solution you need.  It wanted to remove the packages that depended on
64bit libglade rather than install 64bit libglade and delete 32bit which
is what I wanted to do.  In the end I risked the threatened system
instabilities and forced it to delete libglade and then reinstalled the
64bit).

The solution to getting multi-gnome-terminal to run (after installing
the generic binary package) was to extract the following from their
respective i586 RPMs and place them in /usr/lib:
libwrap.so.0
libxml.so.1
libglade.so.0
libglade-gnome.so.0
and in /usr/lib to make links:
ln -s libpopt.so.1 libpopt.so.0
ln -s libdb-3.3.so libdb3.so.3

It's worth the effort because multi-gnome-terminal is superior in many
ways to gnome-terminal, provided you don't mind the lack of font
aliasing. I don't know if it's a bug, but 64bit gnome-terminal produces
a somewhat unpleasant effect when you scoll back a page in less using
'b'. Also changing panes by clicking on a tab doesn't activate the
cursor in the window, you have to click on the window itself. m-g-t has
none of these problems.

Thanks for the help.
