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.
