During a packaged install of a gconf-using program, you need to disable
gconf schema installation during `make install` and instead do it
manually during the packaging mechanism's 'post-install' stage.  The
former is done via something like [[[

    # we must delay gconf schema installation due to sandbox
    export GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL="1"
    # [...]
    make DESTDIR=${D} "$@" install || die "install failed"
    # [...]
    unset GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL

]]]

The latter is done (at least on gentoo) by looking at the installed-file
list for items placed into /etc/gconf/schemas, then calling [[[
    ${GCONFTOOL_BIN} --makefile-install-rule ${SCHEMA} 1>/dev/null
]]] on each.  Don't forget to SIGHUP gconfd-2 to make sure the schemas
are reloaded before the app runs.
