Add the unstable references to your sources.list. Then in
"/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/" create a file (I suggest "10default") containing
the following line:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
Then run the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install x-window-system/unstable
That will pull the x-window-system package from the unstable branch and
should pull the other packages that it needs or at least give you a
listing of them.
