It compiles and run fine.
But since at least 5.7.0 xpad needs "ayatana appindicator" (https://ayatanaindicators.github.io/) to display anything as a tray icon.
This dependency is not available in gentoo tree.

This application is supposed to stay in tray during your graphical session, for my part I consider it a useless if no tray icon, as you don't have "fast access" to your notes.
Be careful not to clean 5.4.0 from tree as it is the last known "working version".

Then you should file a new bug about this.
