Friends,
please help me ...

After having written the note I did sooo many stupid things that I 
really screwed my installation.

Since I had just finished an /home backup and took a deep breath, 
downlaoded the latest testing netinst ISO and made a fresh install.

I am now using aptitude and have

deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian testing main

as my principal sources line.

This led me to a nice fresh Xorg 6.8.2-dsfg 1-6 20050831 installation
and a KDE 3.3.2 desktop.

My question now is:

What is the proper way of including some packages from other (e.g. 
unstable) sources to upgrade to kde 3.4 ?

How about the same (if possible) to obtain OpenOffice 2.0 ?

I have tried to understand pinning but must be the dumbest ever :(

TIA
Bob
