Gnome Problems After Upgrade 9.2 -> 9.3

Did an upgrade (NOT an install from scratch) to 9.3. Then
started having problems trying to run Gnome-related stuff.
Found the explanation. Last year, one way or another, I ended
up with a Gtk library in /usr/local/lib. 9.3 put that same
library into /opt/gnome/lib. But the upgrade hadn't cleaned up
the previous /usr/local/lib. Result: This year's Gnome was
still fetching from /usr/local/lib, and the module there didn't
cut the mustard.
My conclusion: The 'Update an existing system' installation
process did not check whether the files it put into place had
duplicates elsewhere in my system. [And when SuSEConfig runs,
it re-links in the obsolete /usr/local/lib module !!] I *still*
haven't figured out why on my 9.3 system the Gnome-related
stuff was looking for that Gtk library first in /usr/local/lib
and not first in /opt/gnome/lib.
