I had a closer look at that. Actually it is only one function call in main.cpp 
already tagged by Julien which makes Ekiga depend on Gtk+ 2.8.x:

#if GTK_MINOR_VERSION >= 8
  gtk_window_set_urgency_hint (GTK_WINDOW (mw->incoming_call_popup), TRUE);
#endif

If we change that to #if GTK_MINOR_VERSION >= 8 && !defined WIN32
Ekiga and Gaim 1.50 can coexist. I think the trade off for Ekiga running on 
Windows is not very serious. So one might consider to take the urgency hint 
out for Win32. We stay permissive with Gtk+ 2.6x installs although we only 
support 2.8.x. With Gtk+ 2.6.10 we would also give Windows 98/ME and NT4 a 
chance. That way I read the install instructions at 
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html .
I have put up a gaim-1.5.0 permissive version of Ekiga-Win32 at 
http://wwwuser/~mrickma/ekiga/, just do not care for the installer warnings.
