You won't, unless of course, you use hell a lot of motif apps and
installed OpenMotif 2.2
In that case they'll most likely stop working after installing the Sgm lib.

Yes, but it won't run at all, most of them- again,
unless you haven't used 0.5 before.
you will essentially need these:
/usr/bin/X11/5Dwm
/usr/bin/X11/toolchest
/usr/lib/desktop/launcheffect
/usr/lib/desktop/waitmap
/usr/lib/images/*
/usr/lib/X11/schemes/Base/*
/usr/lib/X11/system.chestrc
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/5DWm
The xconfirm and tellwm go to /usr/lib/desktop but they're just candies for now,
they'll be needed once session and desktop management will be working fine
(dtUtilities, fam, etc.)
DO NOT apply patches for gr_osview unless you run GCC 3.x

No, unless you have older (0.5) IMD stuff, in case of icons, you can symlink
/usr/share/5Dwm to /usr/lib/images,
