USE=gnome switches installation of desktop icon in system directory. This icon is not GNOME-specific and can be used by XFCE too. I suggest to variants: 1. remove USE=gnome and do --enable-gnome always; 2. rename this flag to more precious name. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set USE="-gnome -kde", emerge xfce4 2. emerge wesnoth 3. Look into xfce menu Actual Results: Wesnoth icon is absent. Expected Results: The nice Wesnoth icon is in Games category.

No thanks. You can do: echo "games-strategy/wesnoth gnome" >> /etc/portage/package.use to get where you want to go.
nevertheless "gnome" is very misleading
I agree to a certain extent. I'll consider changing the behavior in the next stable release from wesnoth upstream.
