Regarding to X a widespread issue seems to be that the nv driver is dropped, fortunately Arch still includes it to the repositories. I am thankful for that as well or else I would never be able to shutdown or reboot my laptop. NV driver is the only one that I can get to work reliably with my video card. Nouveau is even worse of a driver to use for my card over the proprietary. Its sad I cant use a video driver that works reliably that's actually being developed. I hope they get X and nvidia sorted out soon.
Since the nv driver works without failure it doesn't need development. Hopefully it will be possible to use it with future versions of X and future versions of the compiler hopefully will be able to build the nv driver.
About the C&P are you sure that you don't have one of those paste programs running in the background that you did not configure. I remember I accidentally got one installed not paying attention to an install and I had to remove it to get my C&P back to normal.
I don't know. It's possible that for Xfce such a program is running.
