The guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Flatpak should mention setting this variable as the user gets the following warning: Note that the directories '/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/$USER/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share' are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.
Not a devmanual bug, and generally eiki page issues shouldn't be reported in Bugzilla but in the wiki itself. You can either edit the Wiki yourself, or report the issue at the talk page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Flatpak Closing (lacking a better alternative, using "invalid" as resolution).
If you add yourself to the flatpak group and reboot, it works.
