You can just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. No need to reinstall everything (what a pain that would be). You can just install the xfce-* packages if you want to be more specific.

The only reason I don't use unity is that it doesn't handle multiple monitors correctly on my desktop. Otherwise, I find it satisfactory. I approve of a new design which tries to keep clutter off my screen and tries to be keyboard-driven, and I approve of compiz
