Hi Mohammed,

I suppose the problem doesn’t manifest when using
‘gnome-desktop-service’, because XDG_DATA_DIRS & co. are set such that
the gnome-shell schemas are found.

I would think that’s enough in practice, no?  I doubt these are used
outside of a pure GNOME setting.

Also, gnome-shell depends on gnome-control-center, so
gnome-control-center cannot depend on gnome-shell.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
