probably nothing, you'll have two different Gmail apps

I see -- kinda like having OpenOffice and Microsoft Office on the same PC I guess -- either one can open a .doc document.

Best bet, they're kept separately. Different runtimes (one JRE, one browser environment).

Well, ART not JRE.

urm, there is a gmail app on chromeos?

it just links to gmail.com if i use the gmail shortcut on my tray and i couldnt find another app on the store.

I was under the impression they had built an offline version of Gmail for Chrome OS. I suppose not.
