GVM *still* doesn't work
I was hoping that this problem would be fixed with a new GNOME version but gnome-volume-manager still only works if you use GDM. If you use startx, not only does it not start, but executing it manually exits right away with no error.

Re: GVM *still* doesn't work
Possibly it needs dbus? Did you try with dbus-launch startx?
or in your .xinitrc, when you are starting your WM with exec wm,
then try
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session wm

Re: GVM *still* doesn't work
If you are not using Gnome but XFCE4, why don't you use ivman or thunar-volman? Besides that, gnome-volume-manager expects dbus and hal running and is otherwise tied to a X-Session by sessreg, which is called by GDM. Maybe you should call sessreg from your xinitrc?
