Thanks for the detailed plan. Point 4 was what I missed before.
KDE 3.5.6 running here now.
But: Logging back into KDE made all my applications crash.
.xsession-errors reports "Failed to create XIM input context!" (I'm running
some input method for chinese over here). Setting my locale back so that
debian wouldn't start scim (the chines input method) solves the problem for
now.
I don't know exactly where the problem is and .xsession-errors reports a lot
more, but for now I will try to upgrade my unstable installation (without
additional experimental packages) as I didn't do a full upgrade before. If
this doesn't work I guess I have to dig deeper.
