As a fortunate user of Ubuntu, you now have the benefit of using Adam Wolf's PPA to get
updates whenever you want, as frequently as daily if desired. I would setup your apt repo
by adding Adam's Wolf's PPA to it.

  https://code.launchpad.net/~adamwolf/+archive/kicad-testing-daily

Then

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install <whateverAdamsPackage(s) are>

Normally after that first time, then change the second line to

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

for future days.

This will give you the very latest. Note that sometimes the XORing logic may not work on
everything, so doing a minor resizing operation can help cause EESCHEMA to redraw the
screen. Just a workaround, not a genuine fix.
