Previous stable 1.42.4-r2 have IUSE=X, but all newer versions have IUSE=+X, including new stable 1.48.5. This may result in unintentional installation of X packages on servers, which is bad idea. Probably it makes sense to revert it back to IUSE=X.
In these newer versions it went from force-enabled by default (due to upstream, there's a leftover comment about stub in the ebuild) then to optional again, so +X was the continuation of this (not that I (personally) see an issue with using old behavior, most should still have their configurations based on that and X is set by desktop profiles).
