I don't think any designer would want my advice as to how to make a logo.
But I am very confident that minor modifications such as using the Ubuntu circle 
instead of a plain filled circle would make all of us happy.

I claim false facts.
The XFCE logo seems to be this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Xfce_logo.png
A full bodied, potentially running mouse in front of an X.
The Xubuntu logo seems to be that one: 
http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/themes/xubuntu-theme/xubuntu-wp/images/xubuntu-logo.png
It's a (probably the XFCE) mouse's head in a filled circle.
So the logos differ.

> Kubuntu's is a solid circle with KDE's logo inside.
The KDE logo <http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Guidelines/CIG/KDE_Logo> is a 
K gear.
The Kubuntu logo <http://www.kubuntu.org/themes/kubuntu10.04/logo.png>
has a split gear-wheel only. The K is missing.
Thus, the logos differ.
