That's the problem with dev-util/desktop-file-utils. Reported upstream.
The spec needs updating first - the tool is just complying with it. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html
Thanks, will see, where to report the need to fix specs.

The spec has since been updated to add LXQt to the list of DEs. desktop-file-utils 0.23 (current stable and only available version in portage) contains the fix, and desktop-file-validate doesn’t report any problem with the "OnlyShowIn" value anymore. However, the "LXQt" category is still reported as an error: $ desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/lxqt-config-session.desktop lxqt-config-session.desktop: error: value "Settings;DesktopSettings;Qt;LXQt;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains an unregistered value "LXQt"; values extending the format should start with "X-" lxqt-config-session.desktop: warning: value "Ustawienia sesji LXQt" for key "Comment[pl]" in group "Desktop Entry" looks redundant with value "Ustawienia sesji LXQt" of key "Name[pl]" lxqt-config-session.desktop: warning: value "Nastavenie rel?cie prostredia LXQt" for key "Comment[sk]" in group "Desktop Entry" looks redundant with value "Nastavenie rel?cie prostredia LXQt" of key "GenericName[sk]"

From my understanding of the spec, the desktop environment should not belong into the Categories key. The LXQt value has been added to the OnlyShownIn string array show_in_registered in src/validate.c, but it's not in the registered_categories array in the same file. The latter array contains values like KDE, GNOME and XFCE, which are also part of show_in_registered, but none of the other values listed in the string array. I'd say, that LXQt should be removed from any Categories key and only added to the OnlyShownIn key.
Looking at the spec, GNOME can belong to the `Categories` entry [1], this means that LXQt should also be authorized to be added there. How do we update this ? [1] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s03.html
Okay, it seems LXQt is not part of the official keywords [1] and reported to upstream about it [2] [1] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html [2] https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/2113
Merry 10 year anniversary happy! It seems that these errors no longer trigger (did not dig into why that is), so I suppose this can be closed. Thank you!
