Description ngoonee.talk 2011-04-08 05:39:26 UTC 
Output when running gnome-tweak-tool:-

Caching gsettings: <gtweak.gsettings._GSettingsSchema: org.gnome.desktop.interface>
Caching gconf: <gtweak.gconf.GConfSetting: /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font> (--short-docs)
Caching gconf: <gtweak.gconf.GConfSetting: /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font> (--long-docs)
Caching gconf: <gtweak.gconf.GConfSetting: /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font> (--short-docs)
Caching gsettings: <gtweak.gsettings._GSettingsSchema: org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings>

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.shell.clock' is not installed

aborting...
[1] 1377 abort (core dumped) gnome-tweak-tool

Should gnome-tweak-tool be expected to crash on undefined schema?

Probbably not. I'd take a patch though...

Same happens here, on arch linux fresh gnome-3, 64 bit install.

Fixing this is also critical to getting some Unity customizations into this tool as it wouldn't be good to crash if a user doesn't happen to have Unity installed.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
