It works well for me. You just need to install some X11-related
libraries from oldlibs, I thing xlib6 and xpm4.7 should be sufficient
for running SO4.

It's not an issue for running SO. The utmp/wtmp problem means, that
the format for these databases changed from the old libc5 (the one in
bo) to the libc6 (and the libc5 version of hamm). That means, if you
update from bo to hamm you'll need to wipeout those files and let them
recreate.
For more information regarding the changes, look into the libc5->libc6
mini HOWTO. I found the following location:
http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html
in my records, but there should be one somewhere at www.debian.org
too.
For information regarding the database itself consult "man 5 utmp".
