So, your apt source is incorrect.
WRONG:
deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody/ testing main non-free
contrib
RIGHT:
deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./
This is why you got 404 errors when you tried to download the Packages files -
they were not found becuase apt had been told to look in the wrong place.

It was not kde - you misconfigured apt.

Try something like:
apt-get remove --purge kdelibs* kdebase* kde*
This should remove most of kde from your system.
Also, if you have kde2.2.2 from Debian installed, doing:
dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep 2.2.2
should give you a list of packages which may include any other kde packages
which remain.
Have fun with GNOME.
