How to install Xfce without xubuntu-desktop or ubuntustudio-desktop

Question

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. Is the xfce-meta package great for that?
Thanks in advance!
