I'm not sure what you mean, but there's no gnome-terminal in testing

I don't know if there's a 'correct' way, but here's mine FWIW: I have
APT
{
Default-Release "testing";
}
/etc/apt/apt.conf . I usually use the aptitude UI, but I can use it from
the command line as well: When I want to grab a package from unstable
for once, I do
aptitude -t unstable install <package>
When I want to pin it to unstable, I do
aptitude install <package>/unstable
Sometimes I need to mix'n'match both to achieve what I want.
PS: Only the aptitude in sid supports -t yet, but the same applies to
apt-get, which has known -t and / since woody IIRC.
