I think fltk-aqua 1.1.7 is VERY buggy, I just compiled 1.1.9 and  
everything
works much better.

I see no reason why Fink should stay stuck at 1.1.7 as the stable  
release is 1.1.9 and
has been out for quite a while.
Unfortunalely I am not expert in the debian/fink package format, but
in case this is of help to the fink team, compilation of 1.1.9 was  
extremely easy:

LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/sw/include" DSOFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" ./ 
configure --prefix=/opt/fltk/1.1.9  --enable-threads --enable-shared -- 
enable-largefile --enable-quartz
make
make install

all tests work fine except those that are expected to fail.
I would be glad to give further help if needed but I think in that  
case we should move
the discussion to some fink mailing list
