     No, normally gschemas.compiled is one file storing information about all

     For example, gnome-calculator ships
     
     org.gnome.calculator.gschema.xml
     
     and gnome-maps ships
     
     org.gnome.Maps.gschema.xml
     
     and from both source files a file gschemas.compiled needs to be created
     when gnome-calculator and gnome-maps are installed to the same profile.
     This single file then stores settings of both packages.


I think I see what you are saying:  gschemas.compiled should not be part of the
the package derivation, but should be part of the profile derivation.

So then guix package --install or guix environment would need to run the 
necessary
stuff to create it.

I guess that could work, but would work probably need some changes at quite a 
low
level.

But what would happen if one had for example gnome-calculator in the system 
profile,
and gnome-maps in the user profile?  Would it work under those circumstances?
