I downloaded standard Kali x64 (with Gnome). I'm missing 'aero-snap' so I decided to find out how to add that feature to Gnome classic and I realized that it's much better to just switch to Cinnamon (it's in Debian's repos). The only problem is that I can't get it work.
I'm using VBox 4.2.6 and Intel 4000HD, 3D acceleration is enabled, 128 card memory and Cinnamon is working terribly slow. It complained about 3D support when I had 4.2.6 Guest Additions Drivers, when I installed these from repositories (4.1.~) it finally started, but it's not usable. Menu opens after 5 seconds. Current guest additions, doesn't work at all. Cinnamon just fall back to gnome classic.
Had anyone tried Kali and Cinnamon/Gnome3 on Virtualbox and had similiar experience?
