2. I believe xscreensaver has the ability to handle power management such as hibernation and suspension. There's also a plugin for XFCE which is called xfce4-battery-plugin that might be interesting for you.

Have you read the Touchpad Synaptics guide in the wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

Re: XFCE 4.4 trubles

if your laptop has an extrakey for suspend you could use xbindkeys to use this key to suspend.
However, you could use any key or key-combination you like...

Yes i read the guide on wiki pages but it seems not to work...:|

It's strange because touchpad always worked fine after a basic installation... bha...

You do realize suspend/hibernate is _not_ a DE (such as xfce) feature right? This is something you'll have to set up on your own.
