Because I didn't want some of the standard xubuntu packages, I started my xubuntu installation with just the base command-line system. From there, I installed the xfce4 and xubuntu packages that I needed (e.g., xfce4-panel, xfce4-session, xubuntu-usplash, etc.), but did not install the xubuntu-desktop package. This approach works for me, but it's definitely a more complicated way to go.
I wish I were able to do what these folks are trying to do - just installing xubuntu-desktop and removing the apps that I don't want. It sure would make things easier to set up.

I haven't experienced this personally, but I had an unusual amount of complaints today in irc and thought it should be brought up. Apparently when installing xubuntu-desktop from another install (ubuntu, kubuntu, or edubuntu) when the user attempts to "apt-get remove firefox" or "apt-get remove thunderbird" it uninstalls all of xubuntu-desktop along with it. I haven't verified this, but I thought I would bring it to the attention of others.
