AFAIK we are still missing the global settings schemas for things like
proxy support. There was some talk about it on gnomecc-list in May,
but I haven't seen anything since then...
Also may I have one question? Do GSettings support
internationalisation of the schema files like gconf did? There
certainly are no intltool or m4 macros for that.
