You can...  But the 14.04 version is very old (1.6.2) and the 15.04 
versions is much newer (1.8.2) so a number of bugs have been worked out. 
  I have tried the 14.04 version and was not happy with it, and used 
Gnome Panel / Flashback.  But the 15.04 version is very mature and 
stable so far.  I have not really worked with it yet, but I am liking 
what I see so far.  Even if it does mean getting off the LTS versions I 
normally stick to.
