Derailer/Chainring Compatability

Putting together a new commuter/around town bike with some miscellaneous parts I've got lying around. Have a Deore XT front derailer and was wondering if I'm gonna have problems with the 52/42 tooth rings I have on hand. I've read that there can be some problems because of the xt derailer being designed for smaller chain rings.

Thanks,
Paul
