    Alternative Desktop Environment (Pantheon / Elementary)

    Hi

    Has anyone played around with alternative Desktop environments with any success?

    There are loads of thread about install different ones on Ubuntu and I wondered if it would be as easy on Kali. The Pantheon desktop from Elementary OS is particularly intriguing,

    Thanks

    By any chance have you do this? I get a load of dependency errors:

    Code:
    apt-get install pantheon pantheon-desktop pantheon-shell wingpanel wingpanel-indicator-launcher slingshot-launcher libgala0 libmutter0e --install-suggests
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libgala0 : Depends: libgnome-desktop-3-10 (>= 3.11.90) but it is not going to be installed
     libmutter0e : Depends: libgnome-desktop-3-10 (>= 3.11.90) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: mutter-common (= 3.14.4-1~deb8u1) but 3.22.1-2 is to be installed
     slingshot-launcher : Conflicts: wingpanel-indicator-launcher but 0.1+jessie+bzr2-0+pantheon1 is to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Does it give an error if you just install:
    Code:
    apt-get install pantheon
