Correct. Condor-G is just the 'job management' interface of Condor, but
to a Globus-managed resource as the execution target, instead of a 
Condor-managed resource. In newer versions of Condor, we've enhanced it
to be able to use the condor 'job management' interface to be able to
submit to Globus, Unicore, Nordugrid, "Condor", PBS, and Oracle managed 
resources.

The development versions of Condor support submitting to a Globus 3.2-managed
resource. Condor 6.7.4 will be able to submit to a Globus 3.9.4 (4.0 beta) 
managed resource - we're probably going to drop Globus 3.2 support in the 6.7
series, as soon as Globus 4 starts to stabilize (we think that people are 
mostly using the Pre-webservices Globus 2.x, or will be using Globus 4.0)
