The message in configure --help for e16 is incorrect and the ebuild copied that mistake. USE=container should always be enabled and disabling it is considered experimental and known to cause focus issues. --enable-container use container window (experimental) [default=yes] Current git has renamed the option to make this clear. --enable-no-container do not use container window (experimental) The glx(opengl), xpresent and dbus options are also experimental but not indicated as such by their USE flags.

> - Enable container by default and rename USE container -> no-container. Containers are now enabled by default, thanks for the hint. But I see no reason to force the always, so USE flag is kept and renamed to no-container to follow upstream. > - Update custom USE flags descriptions. opengl and dbus have standard descriptions as global use flags, so I don't add custom local descriptions for them just to add experimental tag. Especially considering glx works fine for me for years on different hardware and system configurations.
