I like this idea. In fact, if I remember correctly, one of the reasons 
for making Xfce 4 modular was to allow separate releases when needed.

Yes, we probably need a scheme like that. In the few occasions that we 
have done separate releases of a single component, we usually did 
something like 4.2.0.1. It sounds a bit more natural to me to have fixes 
for the 4.4.x release have a 4.4.x.y version number, but your suggestion 
has the advantage that there is no need to do a version update before a 
coordinated release.
