Even when everything is owned by another user, it is still necessary to run as root, at least as set up in Debian. If we don't find out more about how to fix this, it would be good to describe in the build documentation.

Indeed, I have always used --disable-schemas...

This appears because of the command:
$ GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults 
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule ekiga.schemas 2>&1 > /dev/null

If the schema cannot be installed in /etc, then probably it should not 
be installed at all.

I suppose the above command should have inverted last parameters like this:
> /dev/null 2>&1

Do you agree, Julien?  Anyway, we should migrate to gsettings.
