This 'wrap-program' strategy of setting environment variables before
running a program has problems.  In this case, it means that every
program run within Emacs will inherit that GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR value.

Along the same lines, I've noticed that when running WindowMaker, all of
the programs within my X session include a WindowMaker-specific
directory at the front of PATH.

It would be good to find another solution.
