Some library or service or core component would be responsible for 
installing the schema for these things.  The schemas are name-spaced 
like 'org.gnome.whatever', and installed in a central location, so 
applications can easily use schemas provided by other libraries.

I guess this violates the strict idea of 'part of the application' per 
se.  What I meant by that is to say 'definitely not part of the database'.
