Description Vincent Untz 2011-09-24 09:42:10 UTC 
We had the issue where gsettings-data-convert was crashing because of .convert file referencing a non-existing schema.

What was happening was:
 s = g_settings_new (BADSCHEMA);
 g_settings_delay (s);

IIRC, the result was: s is not NULL, but s->priv->backend is NULL. And g_settings_delay() assumes there's a backend.

This was caused by not aborting on missing schemas, so it's fixed now.
