Would you like to try Xfce 4.10pre2 ? Are you running Xubuntu 12.04 beta/pr? In case of 2 positive answers, you are only one PPA away from your goal.
- use your terminal to type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mrpouit/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
- if you decide to remove Xfce 4.10pre2, type these:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mrpouit/ppa
(Note: Keep in mind that this is not a final/stable Xfce 4.10 release, but a preview release 2 - also, you would be testing a Preview Release in a Beta... so, if you do proceed, do so with caution! & expect some rough edges)

The help works for me, the only things I've found at the moment is I have to logout using the default xfce logout in the main menu, the other is the main menu I think have defaulted to the xfce layout so all those apps that were hidden now show. Easy to hide again though :-)Apr 24, 2012
+Stephen Go - you know best - although pre2 is pretty much complete... but, true, still not as good as the final release ^^Apr 24, 2012
+Vitaliy Pisnya - Xfce 4.10 final should be released: "2012-04-28 or 1 week later". Xubuntu 12.04 final - in less than 2 days.
For Xubuntu 12.04 final release there will be a new PPA with Xfce 4.10 final release. This current one is just for beta testers (and is not recommended for Xubuntu 12.04 final). I will post that new PPA here (on this G+ page) once it becomes available.Apr 24, 2012
am running this on 12.04 beta at the moment, on the whole runs nice but still a few little niggles with delay in opening home folder and a few missing things, but im sure it will all be fixed by release.Apr 25, 2012
Does Xfce 4.10 work nicely with #Compiz ?Apr 25, 2012
+Remco Haszing - I don't use it myself with this pre2, so I cannot be certain if it works properly - theoretically, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work... but (as this is Xfce pre2, Xubuntu beta...) there is no guarantee anything will work. Final versions should work flawlessly with Compiz.Apr 25, 2012
