I run a non-gnome system (specifically systemd free) so as long as  
--with-gnome doesn't actually drag in any additional gnome-based  
dependencies, I don't have a problem with this.  Also, aren't the  
.desktop files agnostic to the desktop environment?  If so, I agree,  
why have it as an option at all?  (I'll try my next compile with that  
instead of without, and let you know if I detect any difference.
