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.
