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:

  =E2=80=A2 Adding support for =E2=80=9Cprofile hooks=E2=80=9D, and use tha=
t (may have to wait
    until after 0.5.)

  =E2=80=A2 Use a hack like that of Nixpkgs, which systematically copies and
    rebuilds (with glib-compile-schemas) the =E2=80=9Cstandard=E2=80=9D sch=
emas: see
    =E2=80=98doCompileSchemas=E2=80=99 at
    <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/cor=
e/gsettings-desktop-schemas/default.nix>
    and its use at
    <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/cor=
e/evince/default.nix>.

The latter seems reasonable, and fairly easy to do.

Thoughts?
