Well, the primary purpose of the schemas is to define and document GConf keys. They are really supposed to be data files, rather than configuration files (it is really an accident that the schemas ended up being put in /etc).I'm not quite sure how this is different from what I'm doing. I'm putting the schemas I want to use in a certain directory, other than the 'real' schemas location then running gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /path/to/schemas/*.schemas with GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE set appropriately. I've actually just nicked this approach from SuSE - it's toggleable whether to do this, or to use the default schemas as installed by the packages themselves.
If you want to modify the defaults for the system, the correct way is to change them in the defaults database, rather than change the definitions of those keys.
