[Nix-dev] odd output when compiling gnome

I'm getting this repeated for every locale whenever I build gnome:

WARNING: failed to install schema
`/schemas/desktop/gnome/file-views/icon_theme' locale `sk': Unable to
store a value at key '/schemas/desktop/gnome/file-views/icon_theme',
as the configuration server has no writable databases. There are some
common causes of this problem: 1) your configuration path file
/nix/store/3c919chqmjh71qcxzgzyx4y2rm91a0ph-GConf-2.14.0/etc/gconf/2/path
doesn't contain any databases or wasn't found 2) somehow we mistakenly
created two gconfd processes 3) your operating system is misconfigured
so NFS file locking doesn't work in your home directory or 4) your NFS
client machine crashed and didn't properly notify the server on reboot
that file locks should be dropped. If you have two gconfd processes
(or had two at the time the second was launched), logging out, killing
all copies of gconfd, and logging back in may help. If you have stale
locks, remove ~/.gconf*/*lock. Perhaps the problem is that you
attempted to use GConf from two machines at once, and ORBit still has
its default configuration that prevents remote CORBA connections - put
"ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc. As always, check the user.* syslog
for details on problems gconfd encountered. There can only be one
gconfd per home directory, and it must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and
also lockfiles in individual storage locations such as ~/.gconf

Is this a packaging problem?
