Thank you so much, the instructions at that link (plus a few hours of 
randomly installing and uninstalling packages) finally got things working!

However, I would also note that I use xfce4-settings, and therefore also 
had to mask ">=xfce-base/xfce4-settings-4.6.3-r1", since it depends on 
libXi-1.3 or greater.

Again, thank you to everyone who helped me with this.
