GSettings search its 'gschemas.compiled' files under environment variable `$GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR` and then under each directory of `$XDG_DATA_DIRS/share/glib-2.0/schemas`. The file can contain multiple entries, compiled from XML gsettings schemas files provided by applications. We don't have profile hook to build 'gschemas.compiled', so the one in profile only can contains one package's schemas, which is not helpful as schemas from other (particularly gtk+) are required too. Current way to handle this is to wrap binaries using gsettings with XDG_DATA_DIRS, as does by `glib-or-gtk-build-system`.
