I think it's fine to be propagated in this case - but let's see what the others say.

Good question.

Hmmm... I don't use GNOME - so no idea. I have to defer to people more knowledgeable about it. How does a GNOME program find other program's settings schemas in Guix? Also it seems it's trying to use dbus (?) in order to start the evolution data server. How is that searched for?

I am hitting a similar problem with gnumeric. Install latest, open
spreadsheet, hit 'safe as' and you get:

(gnumeric:1974): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed

(bit annoying as some work got lost) but easy to reproduce.

This issue suggests a solution:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9678301/can-not-use-gtk3-filechooser-on-mac-osx#9684626

i.e., the builder needs to run glib-compile-schemas [path to
org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema]. There is a compiled schema in
the path, but maybe not for FileChooser and others.

Hello,

I use gnumeric-1.12.31 on GNOME, and i don't have this problem.

I installed the same version on Guix on top of Debian - but I use
i3wm. No dbus - so maybe that is the root of the problem?

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`.

org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser bomb out fix (aka GNOME Settings Schemas)

[Pjotr Prins]

I finally found a way of getting around the feared 

  (gnumeric:1974): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed

by setting XDG_DATA_DIRS before running a GTK tool (gnumeric, gnucash,
some browsers):

  env XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share ~/.guix-profile/bin/gnumeric

This is on a Debian base distribution. Not sure what package is
missing on Guix, but there appears to be a missing dependency.

This might also be related to some of the browser crashes people
reported when (for example) hitting Ctrl-S.

Could this be related to this (occurring on GuixSD) ?

This bumped the whole thread of 'Ring' for me back into presence. What
happened to it? Which difficulties are there? left?

I think so. The missing icons are also reproducible in gnumeric.

[Pjotr Prins]

Here is another for icecat:

(icecat:9674): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon
'gtk-go-back-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.

I guess it ought to go into debbugs.
