Hey Dan, just FYI, the XFCE that everyone is raving about these days is 
version 4.2. I've seen a lot of people mention they installed XFCE via 
Synaptic, but the version there is months (if not years) old. The 
current version is a completely different beast.

There are a few different install methods that work in Ubuntu. I 
followed the steps here:

http://www.os-works.com/view/debian/

That website also has a unique installer that should work fine.

Hopefully that will clear up the confusion about the packages in Synaptic.
