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!

As of Ubuntu 20.04, you can install Xfce 4 from the default repository:
sudo apt install xfce4
Thanks to @Frank Kusters, in the comments below, for this update.
Previous answer:
To install Xfce 4.10 (the newest version of this desktop environment) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS you should follow these steps:
Add the ppa that will allow you to install the Xfce 4.10:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
Update the system:
sudo apt-get update
Install Xfce 4.10:
sudo apt-get install xfce4
