If you get the GConfEntry for a key (gconf_client_get_entry()) then it
contains the schema name; then you call gconf_client_get_schema() on
the schema name.

AFAIK GConf always return NULL for schema_name:
 
gconf_engine_get_entry(GConfEngine* conf,
                       const gchar* key,
                       const gchar* locale,
                       gboolean use_schema_default,
                       GError** err)
{
  gboolean is_writable = TRUE;
  gboolean is_default = FALSE;
  GConfValue *val;
  GError *error;
  GConfEntry *entry;
  
  error = NULL;
  val = gconf_engine_get_full (conf, key, locale, use_schema_default,
                               &is_default, &is_writable, &error);
  if (error != NULL)
    {
      g_propagate_error (err, error);
      return NULL;
    }

  entry = gconf_entry_new_nocopy (g_strdup (key),
                                  val);
The above sets schema_name to NULL;
  
  entry->is_default = is_default;
  entry->is_writable = is_writable;

  return entry;
}
