That's because it isn't a global USE flag, like "gnome"; it's a "local"
USE flag, which applies to vim only.
Local USE flags are described in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc.
Myself, I use an alias to search useflags:
(in ~/.bashrc)
alias useflag='grep /usr/portage/profiles/use.*desc -e'
This searches both use.desc and use.local.desc for whatever I type after
the command "useflag"
so:
motub -> useflag vim-with-x
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-editors/vim:vim-with-x - Link
console vim against X11 libraries to enable title and clipboard features
in xterm
Great for when I've done an emerge -uaDtNv world, and don't know what
thus and so new USE flag does.
