I don't know Linux very well, but I think Kodi can be packaged in standalone mode which I think gives an appliance type behaviour in the manner you describe. Maybe you've installed the wrong package for a desktop environment or the package maintainer hasn't built it for an desktop environment.

Also in case you're not aware, the only Linux package maintained by the Team is the Ubuntu one. We are a small Team so it would be impossible for us to maintain packages for every flavour of Linux, so this does means if you stray from using Ubuntu then there's a good chance that Kodi may have been patched or altered by the distro maintainers in someway.

From what I see, manjaro is just using the Arch package for kodi. There is nothing within it that will enable it on startup. No idea what you did on your system.

Maybe its an issue with how Desktop Manager (lightdm, slim, whatever) is setup.
A newly installed .xsession file becomes the default somehow.
However this issue should be directed to and adressed by distro maintainers.

I know very little about Linux anymore. I installed Manjaro xfce, and then Kodi, and JRiver for my audio, and both work I also have zero problem shutting down Kodi. My only problem with Manjaro is when listening to music on JRiver it logs me out if I am not actively moving a mouse, but with Kodi there is no problem. Have you tried reinstalling Kodi in case the rebuild went wrong?
