From what I've heard on this list, Xfce has drunk the systemd koolaid.
If that's true, screw em, they're not the only game in town. If nothing
else, use Openbox with a no-brand panel, and that's kind of like Xfce.
Oh, and make a few sudoers entries so you can reboot, shutdown, suspend
and hibernate as a normal user.

I'd just work around their silly BS. sudoers plus shellscripts plus one
of those multi-launchers to call those shellscripts should do that job.
And maybe submit a bug report to Xfce telling them their new master
killed features you use every day.
