Due to lack of testing ability on the Mac, Xubuntu does not publish
that image. I would suggest downloading the image for Ubuntu "+mac",
and after installing, install Xubuntu. This is easily done using
     sudo apt-get  install xubuntu-desktop
in a terminal. This gets you the image tuned for your mac, which should
work.
