I downloaded the SuSE RPMs and installed them from the command line.  I had no 
problems, and didn't have to force anything.  The following is from the SuSE 
Gnome 2.0 Read-me file:

**
If GNOME 1.x and GNOME 2.0 should be used side by side,
it is highly recommended to update your GNOME 1.x
packages to the latest SuSE packages.
**

Download all the base packages and install them. 
After installation, SuSEconfig must be run.

You will also need to install the FAM package and enable
the fam-Daemon in the current runlevel (this can be done via the YaST2
Runlevel-Editor). Nautilus will use FAM for filesystem-notification.

OK - before sending this, I just wanted to check things out - and apparently I 
do not have sawfish2 installed - it reports conflicts with sawfish-1.0.1-87.  
I even dug up my scrap of paper on which I had kept a checklist, and I've got 
it checked off - must have been a brain blip after installing umpteen 
packages.  

I guess it's back to the drawing board (or terminal) to do some more research 
and troubleshooting.
