The easiest way to use gnome in xubuntu is to just install Ubuntu in the first place, but if you must installing gnome via apt-get should work, but it might give you a ton of extra packages.

sudo apt-get install gnome

or better yet the ubuntu desktop

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

You can install either Gnome with everything.

Or Gnome Core which is minimal.

I installed xubuntu 10.04 and then gnome-core on my laptop because I prefer gnome. I like it a lot and it is a lean system, gnome tends to run using only around 130 MB of RAM. The most RAM I have used so far that I can remember is around 250MB.
