Many applications need or would really like a dbus bus started up at
desktop startup (Terminal, Xfmedia, Beep). Xfce tries to start the bus
up, if you have it installed. You don't have it installed, so no
worries.

Don't worry about these. Unless you need to use RANDR,  in which case
you can add it to xorg conf

These are errors with the Volume Control applet. Can you change the
volume? Consider filing a bug report against the applet

Not sure which engine metal uses. Either it's not installed, or not
installed at the same prefix as Gtk
