Yet another problem when people do 'emerge ... world' (groan, not at you).
My own practice is to do 'emerge -Dup world' after 'eix-sync',
then choose which apps to actually emerge individually;
I keep a careful record of everything I installed & have updated.

The link on the 2nd site to 'homepage' sends you to the 1st site.

I don't use the Xfce desktop, but I do use 'Terminal',
ie 'x11-terms/terminal-0.4.0', which has tabs & looks like the 1st site.
I notice there's a new dependency, if I were to remerge it :

  root:566 ~> emerge -pv x11-terms/terminal
    These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
    Calculating dependencies... done!
    [ebuild N ] dev-util/xfce4-dev-tools-4.6.0  61 kB
    [ebuild R ] x11-terms/terminal-0.4.0 USE="dbus -debug -doc (-nls%)"

You could try doing that emerge & see if it helps at all;
you could also try running 'terminal' from the CLI & see what happens.
