I originally installed Ubuntu on my new laptop. After playing around with
a number of different desktop managers, I installed and settled on xfce4.
Having installed that package, do I effectively have an Xubuntu system,
or is there something else that fundamentally separates Xubuntu from stock
Ubuntu? Thanks.

Xubuntu is simply Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop. Everything else is the same

You probably already have everything.
If you want to be certain, you can go to synaptic (I can't find this
functionality offhand in the software center). In synaptic, under the
'Edit' menu, select 'Mark Packages by Task...'. In the resulting list
of checkboxes, select 'Xubuntu desktop', OK, and follow the steps from
there.

Effectively, yes. I did the same thing as you, started with Ubuntu, installed
xfce (not xubuntu-desktop). Later, I did install Xubuntu-desktop, but since 95%
of what it wanted to download and install was already installed by xfce, all it
did was basically just add some wallpapers and a splash screen. If you plan on
removing gnome (ubuntu/unity) then you should add the Xubuntu-desktop package
just to make bootup look better, but it's not necessary.

Thanks! I didn't know about the synaptic tool. I downloaded it and will
investigate the packages. I really appreciate your reply.

xfce is only the window manager.
xubuntu-desktop adds in all of the Canonical/Ubuntu customizations.

Actually XFCE is desktop environment, which contains multiple
programs, including window manager XFWM4. You can read more about what
XFCE includes at their homepage, here http://xfce.org/projects .

The thing is what you are thinking is Ubuntu is just the gnome-desktop. xfce-
desktop is also Ubuntu as is the kde-desktop and indeed several others. They
ALL run on the Ubuntu engine. On my machine I have xfce, kde and gnome
however I have only booted into gnome twice since 7.10 (that would be since
Oct of 2007)
