Just a followup and a thanks. I got rid of gnome and netscape. Thanks for the help there. I just had to go back to stable to remove them rather than being in testing and trying to remove them. Once my system was in a nice state where an apt-get upgrade showed nothing to upgrade in stable I moved sources.lis to testing. Several iterations of 'apt-get --fix-missing upgrade' and --ignore-missing was needed. I am now in the process of dist-upgrade. The entire process clobbered /etc/X11/X symlink for some reason which is now fixed. I will see how it all goes.
Thanks for the help to all.
