I want to install Xfce without xubuntu-desktop or ubuntustudio-desktop (original Xfce 4.10, without extras). I too want to keep Unity (and Unity 2D) on my computer. Are the xfce-meta package great for that?
Thanks in advance!

If this is on 12.04 you will need to enable the xfce4.10 ppa first then simply install xfce (maybe xfce4, I can't remember, and I'm on 10.04 at the moment).
As you suspect, that is a metapackage that tells the system what packages to install to give you xfce 4.10 without all the xubuntu apps that you may not wish to add.

You could also try:
This will install only the packages that are necessary for XFCE without pulling in all of the default Xubuntu applications.Code:sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop

Why not just XFCE? Or does that package no longer exist in 12.10?
sudo apt-get install xfce

It is:
That's it. Nothing else. That easy. Log out, choose from the Sessions pop-up. Log in. You're there ...Code:sudo apt-get install xfce4
You can also search for xfce4 in Synaptic Package Manager or Software Centre and install from there.

Enjoy! I love Xfce and Xubuntu is my main squeeze.
Install the xfce-goodies package also.

Looks like a real good idea
