I'm not switching to systemd anytime soon, got burned recently and have no time to learn new configuration settings. As I said in the other thread, you need to set the openrc-force USE flag for gnome-settings-daemon. Again, this is not really supported, it will result in reduced functionality, and somethings will probably fail. And since most of the underlying infrastructure of Xfce is really GNOME, this probably will happen with more and more packages in the future, as more and more things start using the more sane and advanced functionality of logind.
