Hi Troumad,

I am assuming that you are trying to run a GTK+-3.x program...

The way gschema works is as follows: (refer to 
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.31/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html, 
especially under g_get_system_data_dirs ())
1. Determine where you put you program binary, together with your GTK+ 
stack DLLs (GTK+, Pango, ATK, GDK-Pixbuf, GLib and their dependent 
DLLs), in <foo> or <foo>\bin, where <foo> is a folder that does not end 
with \bin
2. Copy the org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml (and whatever other 
*.gschema.xml files you may need) to <foo>\share\glib-2.0\schemas.  You 
may need to ensure that gschema.dtd is in <foo>\share\glib-2.0\schemas.
3. Run "glib-compile-schemas <foo>\share\glib-2.0\schemas" without the 
quotes.  glib-compile-schemas is a utility program that you obtain when 
you build GLib, which compiles all *.gschema.xml files in a given 
folder, which creates a gschemas.compiled in <foo>\share\glib-2.0\schemas.
4. Run your program in <foo> or <foo>\bin, and you should be set to go.

Hope this info helps-this was what bit me when I tried to get GTK+-3.x 
running, which I built with Visual Studio.

p.s. XDG_DATA_DIRS, as the given link implies, is something that is 
supported on *NIX platforms, not Windows, AFAIK.  This bit me in the 
process too.

With blessings,
-Fan, Chun-wei
