Hi All.
So I built the KDE x86 Version of Kali using the Documentation within the Kali environment. I have also uploaded a torrent for those who wish to just grab it instead of doing it them selves. With that I would like to share some of the issues and solutions I have come across.
The build goes nicely. Installing to a USB via win32disk imager also goes nicely. Being able to boot from the USB works well. After this, from the Official Gnome Release compared to the build, we run into some issues. The most glaring is networking appears to be disabled on the live USB. However, I haven't really played with the LiveUSB and decided to directly install it to my system (Dual Booting with Windows 7).
Once installed, wired networking is working. However, there is no GUI option for connecting to wireless network.
First some prerequisites: Star off using a wired connection.
The Sources.list must be updated, as the build only includes one entry oO. Use this page for a guide. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Kali
Then apt-get update and upgrade as necessary.
From there everything becomes easier.
To get wireless working I used Wicd:
apt-get install wicd
Also my sound was muted and had no volume control:
apt-get install kmix
Firefox was missing:
apt-get install iceweasel (Firefox clone with debian support - works, looks, and acts like firefox minus the copyrighted logos)
or
through the synaptic gui search for firefox, and iceweasel will come up
Flash was missing:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
The package manager was missing:
apt-get install synaptic
I suppose everything after is just cosmetic and up to the user as to how they would like to customize the feel and look.
I hope this is useful to someoneEnjoy!

EDIT.
I am discontinuing the torrent on my end, as it seems to be pretty much a dead torrent. Happy to report I've uploaded nearly a TB of ratio. I may make a new KDE with the latest updates torrent some time down the line.
