[Solved] Various power related issues

Hello!

I've had arch linux up and running beautifully on my Thinkpad T61 for around six months.   I'm currently running SLIM + XFCE4 + Compiz WM.
My ~/.xinitrc launch commands are:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

After a recent update (see this post if curious) I started having a number of issues - half of which I fixed, and are unrelated to XFCE.
My outstanding issues are:

1) Hibernate/suspend options missing from my XFCE log out menu.
2) Battery percentage/charging indicator has disappeared from the XFCE notification window; when I set the Power Management properties to "show when battery is detected" it remains hidden; if I set it to "always show" it just shows a power plug. 

Here is an image showing how my suspend options in xfce-power-manager-settings are greyed out.

What I've tried:

Starting XFCE as root
Made sure that I'm a member of the power group.
Checked ~/.config/xfce4/xconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml & ~/.xinitrc for appropriate syntax.

Any Ideas? I'd love to have my native power management back.

Re: [Solved] Various power related issues

Somehow, installing glib2 fixed the issue.
