Hi,

All you should need to do is "gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule
/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas", more or less. Perhaps you need to specify
the config source:
 GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults
but that may not be needed. Anyway, if you look at %post in the RPMs
you'll see each one does this for the .schemas files in the given
package.

This is why apps install the .schemas files.

For future reference, the answer is "don't delete things if you don't
know what they are for" ;-) Deleting /usr/share/* or /etc/* or many
individual files in /etc (say /etc/passwd) will also break your system.
You can't really blame the system for breaking when you are the one who
broke it. ;-)
