Re: About gsettings aborting on unkown schemas

Of course it is.  With this bug, programs crash where they other-
wise could limp on.  It's like changing all g_return_if_fail calls
into asserts -- after all, any time one of those hits it represents
a bug somewhere.  My log files suggest that "all the time" is
a good approximation of how often that happens.

It is absolutely not like missing your main ui file.  You can't limp
on from that in a meaningful way.

And note, that in the gconf age handling this was not a problem
at all.

This bug makes it hard to keep multiple versions of a program
installed without making settings per-version which has its own
problems.  If a setting is ever removed, the old version won't
run.
