I don't mind adding it as globally recognizable USE flag, I'd mind however having it enabled by default in desktop/base profile. If Gnome needs it, please enable it in gnome subprofile if you wish (apart from setting all required USE deps in ebuilds), you can also use IUSE defaults for it which would allow more fine grained control or if you or Gnome devs decided to drop the idea at some point. -- regards MM
