Anyway developed a bunch of scripts to build cinnamon from git, for jessie and kali ( wheezy)
I am running the jessie version on my kali-jessie mix box, and its perfect.
Thought i would share the scripts and built binaries they are here https://github.com/Jubei-Mitsuyoshi/KALI-JESSIE
I would really like testers for the wheezy/kali builds since am not running either as "standard"
I am running the enitire cinnamon stack ( cinnamon session, settings deamon etc) which i find gives much better screen resolution on my nvidia driver
In the same git you will also find the latest compiz from saucy pached to hell and recompiled for debian testing and stable, not tested at all though
