I want to be sure whether it going to break something like my default Unity desktop or not. I once tried KDE on Ubuntu and it broke the whole theme. I had to reinstall Ubuntu that time.

I dont want that to happen again.

I have found this which explains how I can Install XFCE or other DEs Available for Ubuntu 11.10.

I have them both installed right now. I just logged out and back in on both DEs. I have KDE, XFCE, Gnome fallback, and Unity installed for testing purposes. Aside from occasional cluttered menus and file associations, it works fine for me.
