I don't know the answer to that, but you will definitely have to
configure xdialog "--with-gtk2" because the only alternative (gtk1) is
long dead.  Be sure to install libgtk2.0-dev for that.

FWIW, xdialog can be found on snapshot.debian.org[1], and the latest
version (2.3.1.dfsg.1-1) from 2007 still builds fine.  I have no idea if
it still works, though.

Cheers,
