These, in Gentoo, are used to configure the compiler flags for the specific
application. They are called use flags.
If they aren't prefixed with "-", then it's options that it's compiled with.
"-" implies that it's been disabled at compile time. So, for example, if i set
"-lock" on KWin, it compiles with -DKWIN_BUILD_SCREENLOCKER=no.
As for sandboxing, the only thing sandboxed is the compilation process. This
prevents malicious code from executing (such as downloading things from the
internet). After compilation, it gets thrown in the standard path, and it runs
unsandboxed.
