How can I install Xubuntu (Xfce) in Ubuntu without uninstalling the Ubuntu-Desktop component. The same way as installing Kubuntu but having the option to change between desktops (KDE or Gnome). If I try to install xubuntu-desktop it tells me it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop and the notify-osd.

May not be exactly what you want, but you can install Xfce (sudo apt-get install xfce4) as a separate package and simply choose that as your desktop session when you log in. You shouldn't need to remove a thing.
