Hi,
I'm trying to set up my laptop with arch, but I'm having some problems.
I'm using some Xfce applications for my daily tasks over an Openbox environment.
Now I'm trying to get the power management to work and I would like to use xfce4-power-manager.
The big problem is that if I start it as a normal user, most of the buttons are inactive and a notification appears: "Hibernate and Suspend operation not permitted". The result is that I'm not able to do anything.
On the contrary, if I use the root user (or sudo) to start xfce-power-manager all buttons are active and I can set my preferences: but of course I need it to work as a normal user.
I've installed acpid and pm-utils and configured pm-suspend and pm-hibernate to run without password (and they wok indeed). Moreover I've added my user to the "power" group so I really can't understand what's going wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Yes I'm using slim.
Anyways I solved installing PolicyKit and using this line in .xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
