Sorry. I’m feeling a little stupid. GSettings checks each entry in XDG_DATA_DIRS for a gschemas.compiled file, so compiling the settings for each package individually does work. The issue with the app I was trying to run was elsewhere. Now, all GSettings could still be compiled in a profile hook to a single gschemas.compiled file to eliminate the annoying warning message about “arbitrarily choosing” one of them. I have seen an mlet for the first time today, so I’m not going to fix this. I’m also not sure if this is really better than what (guix build glib-or-gtk-build-system) does. I’m also not going to file a bug since I’m not sure if we even want to change the current method.
