No. What I ment is an overall XFce desktop version string.

You have something like

AC_DEFINE([XFCE_VERSION], [4.0.3])

in libxfce4util/configure.ac which is updated everytime we make a new release, 
and a function

G_CONST_RETURN gchar *
xfce_version(void)
{
	return(XFCE_VERSION);
}

in libxfce4util which returns the version string.
