Kali Linux, still have an experimental issue on any configuration. One of them is their repository. Beside supporting of the Debian Repository, but I prefer using the original Repository which maintenance by Kali Developer. Because it's optimize for Kali, although it's not the complete Repository like Debian have.
On the end of March, Kali Developer has been written on their blog (https://www.kali.org/blog) which make a bleeding edge repository contain update from several tools. But remember that this repository is still very experimental, so I don't add that repository into my source. Then, what's the repository would we use?? Okay, below I have list of the Kali Linux Repository which I used too. You can choose one of them, but don't use it together.

For my country (Indonesia), i recommended to you the Indonesian Repository of Debian for Kali Linux at Kambing UI of Repo UGM. For better syncing, i prefer to use Kambing UI, because it's always getting syncing with the Debian Repository often than Repo UGM.sources.list (kambing ui)

Now, you can update and install everything you needed (e.q. GIMP, Inkscape, GEdit, etc), but I remember you to disable all of the source except Kali Security if you plan to running upgrade. Because, the pentest tools in your system maybe damaged effect after you running upgrade with another source except Kali Security. If you want more, I was starting packaging Repository of Kali Linux for my self, future I will make it connected into internet for Indonesia Network Repository. See here for my Repository Kali Linux Project.
