Exactly, thanks for volunteering! :-)
For the record, the problem was described at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2013-10/msg00028.html>.
The envisioned solutions are:
• Adding support for “profile hooks”, and use that (may have to wait
until after 0.5.)
• Use a hack like that of Nixpkgs, which systematically copies and
rebuilds (with glib-compile-schemas) the “standard” schemas: see
‘doCompileSchemas’ at
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/core/gsettings-desktop-schemas/default.nix>
and its use at
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/core/evince/default.nix>.
The latter seems reasonable, and fairly easy to do.
Thoughts?
