No, you're not, unless you installed 4.4 yourself -- Slackware 13.1
shipped with Xfce 4.6.1.

You won't be able to build that on 13.1's xfce package set.

You compiled it with 'make; make install' right?  If so, then why
would you expect it to be in the package list?  Besides, that's 
the "old" notification daemon for xfce, and it's not maintained
any more -- you should be using xfce4-notifyd, which is already
included in Slackware 13.1

Undo the things you did, or else reinstall.

By the way, this is not an Xfce issue at all, and it's really not
even a Slackware issue - it's a local sysadmin issue.
