Try opening a xterm and then openg the xfce terminal from it, so you can take a look at some (possible) error messages.

Which xfce-terminal version are you using? Try using the 0.2.4 one, adding:
| Code: |
xfce-extra/terminal ~x86
xfce-extra/exo ~x86
|
to your /etc/portage/package.keywords (assuming x86 is your arch).

Your problem sounds ALMOST like what happened to me with kde. A terminal opened on KDE as a user would NOT bring up a bash prompt, but as root it would.
Solution was to run etc-update to catch pending changes for udev related stuff. |
