I've been trying to install the Xfce Desktop Environment more than once, with no success.

I typed: 

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

and:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

(separately)

and then logged out and in again... but nothing changed, as I had no option to choose between two Desktop Environments.

What should I do?

You should see a small ubuntu logo next to your username on the log-in screen. When clicking it, a drop down menu should present you with the selection of all installed DEs. make your choice and enter your username/password after that.

    If you don't see it after logout, try reboot as @Ciro Santilli suggests in his answer.

I had to reboot after installing XFCE, a simple logout was not enough.
