Make a backup of your sd-card! (Or buy a new one)
I installed the latest version of raspbian (november), and then only samba (for easy network access to my files from my laptop, cause I still don't like any of the text-editors on the raspberry ) and OFv0.9.0
That worked for me. No other tricks involved.
(Edit) I do have my kinect connected via a powered usb hub!
