Not me, sorry.

Yes, download it, then do:
apt-get install alien
alien filename.rpm
and then install the .deb it created

I think alien should take care of the dependencies for you. But if it only
needs xlib, you should be OK. You *might* need the xlib-dev packages in
debian, but I'm not sure. If you do, just install them as normal with
apt-get. The apt-file tool can help you find packages which contain a file,
even if you haven't installed that package on your system. If you just want
to find a file on your own system, locate or find, or the package dlocate are
all useful.
