First make sure you have the enlightenment window manager installed. On ubuntu the package is e16. Then, before logging in change your session:

Ubuntu session

All your available window managers should be listed. Pick one and log in.

3This changes the session desktop environment. There's also the possibility of one wanting to keep running Gnome and just replace metacity with e.g. xfwm4. – tzot – 2010-02-17T20:59:16.763

The website here has a great tutorial on how to set up different managers in Ubuntu. They focus on KDE, but like the tutorial says, it's easy to apply to others like xfce.
