Re: compiling gaim for woody and xfree86 4.1
Gaim maintainer here... as far as I remember, Gaim's debs from unstable
build on woody without modification, except for disabling gtkspell
because woody doesn't have that lib. In fact, I built 0.63 for you,
available here:
http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim-woody/gaim_0.63-1.0woody1_i386.deb
Hopefully that works for you, but I'll answer your questions anyway,
for interest's sake. =)

Yes, Gaim doesn't care about the XFree86 version, it's just a simple X
client.

Gtk2 is already in woody. apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev gets you the header
files.
