You won't be able to safely mix and match that, because of the
dependencies. Also, a backport will require a backport of
libgtk2.0-0, which might be a lot of trouble, but I don't know. Talk
to the backports-users@lists.backports.org list.

Or set up a lenny chroot to run it. My book explains how to do that
(in the context of amd64), even with bind mounts for /home and
stuff.
