To Ken and the group,
Shooting flash against fluorescent is a classic problem with no easy solution. I often come across it when photgraphing interiors.
I cannot advise you how to use your G2, but if you want to record some of the ambient fluorescent light, I suggest you filter the flash. Put something like a 30CC green over your flash. This is available as an inexpensive "gel" from various manufacturers like Rosco and Lee. If you have a small strobe, you might be able to cover the head with a "swatch" from the manufacturer's sample book.

What is your workflow for establishing WB in a room with florescent or even mixed lighting where flash is necessary? I admittedly have more experimenting to do, but I only have a G2 at the moment, (in addition to my film cameras) and the custom WB setting does not involve an exposure, so I'm not sure how to factor in flash color temp with say, florescent. I'm wondering on the one hand how to do this with the G2, and secondly if this is significantly easier and/or better with a DSLR, and finally if the various Canon DSLRs differ in how they approach this classic problem. Do all DSLRs allow you to fire a flash at the moment of measuring CWB? I know, best is to avoid FL, but I've been doing a lot of on-location shoots lately and can't always choose. This week I needed to work digitally, as the subject was a busy well-known artist only in town for 24 hours and needed to review shots like right away. Not that it's an easy problem to solve with film either.
