Hi and welcome to the forum.If the only difference is whether or not you use a login manager, it's probably ConsoleKit related. For example, SLiM (and I think GDM/KDM too and probably others, as well), already start it, so you don't need another ck session in your ~/.xinitrc (see the first note from the SLiM wiki page). Which login manager do you use?
Running everything as root is a bad idea.I think you need to be in the "power" and "wheel" group in order to use shutdown and poweroff.Create a user and properly configure it's ~/.xinitrc to load a ConsoleKit session.

I'm using slim with xfce4 too.after running [sudo systemctl enable slim.service] I also had to reinstall slim. [sudo pacman -S slim]everything was back to normal after that.I do still wonder how many other services I'm going to have to start in the future.

The ArchLinux Wiki has the best documentation available and with the problems you describe here, if it does not suffice, ArchLinux is likely not for you.Everyone can install ArchLinux and most can use it, but it does require more from the user than Ubuntu and such.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Wayhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
