Re: About gsettings aborting on unkown schemas

[Nacho <nacho resa gmail com>]

IMHO it is a problem in gnome shell, it should provide some api to

create the settings for the plugins and in this api check that the

settings really exists and do not enable the plugin in that case.

But as said in some comment this is under development to provide

dynamic place for setting on plugins etc.

Regards.

That's already what you get:
   g_error ("Settings schema '%s' is not installed\n", name);

I really can't imagine what you could do from a program missing its
schemas, except if you hardcode (i.e. duplicate) all default values in
the code to handle this broken case

This is true for a single application with no plugin (crappy plugins?) hierarchy.
But with plugins, you need to prevent youself from crashing because plugins
do not make the whole application unusable!
