That looks OK to me.

I think the problem is that libwnck18 depends on libwnck-common << 2.19
which is not available in unstable anymore:

$ apt-cache policy libwnck-common
libwnck-common:
  Installed: 2.18.3-1
  Candidate: 2.20.0-1
  Version table:
     2.20.0-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
     2.19.5-1 0
          1 http://ftp.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages
 *** 2.18.3-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.14.3-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/main Packages

Try to add a line for "testing/main" to your sources.list.
