I've noticed this warning across reported logs since the
tracker-extract process was sandboxed. I suspect this is related to a
sandboxed thread accessing gsettings, although it's most clearly not
tracker itself, since all tracker-extract settings are read on startup
and in-memory representation is accessible readonly to the extractor
threads.

So this could be some tracker module that is trying to poke GSettings
underneath, but I'm entirely unclear which. If anyone can get me
backtrace of that specific warning (eg. setting up
G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals in tracker-extract environment), that'd be
appreciated.

That said, the warning should be harmless, at least if I'm right.

Cheers,
