Once again, both gimp versions can be installed at the same time. The
binaries are gimp-1.2 and gimp-1.3. When you type just gimp in a
terminal, it will most likely still open Gimp 1.2.5. To make it open
gimp-1.3, follow these steps:

1. become root (su)
2. install both gimp versions if necessary
3. rm -rf $(which gimp)
4. cd /usr/bin
5. ln -s $(which gimp-1.3) gimp

As for mozilla, it should uninstall mozilla-1.4 first if necessary
