Yes, as you found, the FileChooser schema must be known by wxmaxima
via GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR or XDG_DATA_DIRS.

There is a `glib-or-gtk-build-system', when use it, all executables
will be wraped with XDG_DATA_DIR, combining from inputs's $out/share
directories.  Currently, applications using gsettnigs can be handled
this way or wrap it manually using `wrap-program'.


Thanks for your report, I fixed this specified issue
in commit de477809d773.
