Just out of curiosity, how will the gsettings schemas be compiled ? Will 'glib-compile-schemas' run everytime a new extension is installed?
Thanks!

Actually, if you add $HOME/.local/share in the $XDG_DATA_DIRS variable,
gsettings will find schemas installed there.
This had to be defined before gnome-shell is run,
so /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ or /etc/X11/Xsession is a good place for that.
The drawback is you cannot rely on this if you want other users use your
extension ;)
My 2 cents,
