Command for 'what version of Xfce do I have?'

The closest I have come is: env | grep DESKTOP_SESSION=. But it returns DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce. Well, duh! I want to know what VERSION is installed. Is there any command to get that detail?

xfce4-about -V

or click on the "About Xfce" menu item.

thats a better command.  if you are using a Debian-based distribution of Linux (such as Xubuntu), there is "dpkg -l|grep libxfce4ui-common" but that is a longer command and shortening the grep to just "xfce" gives too much output.
