From the kmenu, choose "Switch user"->"Start new Session" and 
you will be presented a new login. Choose xfce.

$  apt-cache search xfce

xfce4 - Installs Xfce4 core and scripts to set it up

So I guess xfce4 is the package you want.

$ apt-cache policy xfce4
xfce4:
  Installed: 4.2.2
  Candidate: 4.2.2
  Version table:
 *** 4.2.2 0
        500 http://uy.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It is in universe, so check that you have this repo
enabled.

Disclaimer: I have it installed but have not used it yet :-/
