Add the elementary daily ppa and install gala
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gala dconf-tools
Set gala as xfce's default window manager
cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
gedit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml
replace "xfwm4" with "gala"
Put min/max/close buttons on the right
open dconf-editor:
org pantheon desktop gala appearance
button-layout: :minimize,maximize,close
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily

So which advantages have gala versus default xfce compositing?
