New version of the script. Version 1.2
A new version of the Xfce installer script has been developed: version 1.2
It's still compatible with Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 and now it also adds support for Ubuntu 13.10.
Added installation profiles to specify the preset programs to be installed on computers of different areas: desktop computers (newer or older), office computers or even server computers. According to the selected profile, the programs to be installed vary to suit the needs.
Also added other interesting features.

xfdesktop
XFDESKTOP(1) General Commands Manual XFDESKTOP(1)
NAME
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager
SYNOPSIS
xfdesktop
xfdesktop [options]
DESCRIPTION
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment. This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right-
click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be
running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments.
OPTIONS
--reload
Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back-
drop list.
--menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.
--windowlist
Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor.
ENVIRONMENT
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is
not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg
FILES
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu. xfdesktop can also use a user-customized
menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the xfce4-dev@xfce.org mailing list.
Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list.
