Backports Dapper

[Donn]

Hi,
I just tripped over a ref to 'backports' in another post and I thought I'd ask 
about it.
 I'm still on Dapper and it's getting crufty. I don't have time right now to 
fight with a new installation (and all the backing up ...) but I would rather 
like to have GTK+ > 2.10 and all it's little pals. 
 Is there some magical way to do this on Dapper via apt? I have tried 
compiling it all but I only get part-way before running into problems that 
I'm not savvy enough to figure out.
