When libc6 2.2.4-1 arrives in woody. Keep an eye on
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/ for the status of that.

Download
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.4-1_i386.deb
(and probably the other .deb files in that directory) and install them
with 'dpkg -i'. The procedure you quoted with 'apt-get -t unstable
install libc6' instead of kde looks like it would work fine too.
