You should have this schema in ~/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/:

$ ls ~/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/*FileChooser*
/home/cyril/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml

This error message disappears when running 
'GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/home/cyril/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ evince'.


Here is what happens when I run evince:

$ evince

(evince:11388): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the 
system
Trace/breakpoint trap

I can solve the error about the lack of schemas by running:

$ GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/home/cyril/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ evince
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not 
be saved or shared with other applications.

I have similar issues with eog (Eye of GNOME) that I've just packaged.
