How to deal with an arrogant advisor
Okay, he doesn't like to chit chat with students, and he is conservative in his choice of topics and methods.  He's not proactive about arranging postdocs and he doesn't edit his students' manuscripts.  None of these things strike me as deal breakers, necessarily, but of course you'd have to weigh these things against what he has in the plus column.

But speaking of pluses, all I got from your post is that he is a highly regarded scientist in his field.

I suggest you take the next couple of months to try to find the pluses.  Find out what his strengths are.  See if you can figure out what makes him tick.

One of my best memories of my advisor is that once, on a long drive to the airport, he told me his memories of staving off hunger by working as a translator for the U.S. army in postwar Japan.
