[Nix-dev] [Mate-on-Nixos] Caja compiles but dumps

[Anderson Torres]

Hello, Nixers!

I have successfully build the first 4 components of mate: mate-common,
mate-desktop, libmatekbd, libmateweather.

Here is my progress, in the mate-on-
nixos tree: https://github.com/AndersonTorres/nixpkgs/tree/mate-on-nixos

After discarding all gtk3 stuff (without it, Mate compiles cleanly), I
have build Caja ("box" in Spanish). But when I try to run, it barfs:

$ /tmp/area/mate-testing/mate-gtk2/caja/result/bin/caja

(caja:2340): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system
[1]    2340 trace trap  /tmp/area/mate-testing/mate-gtk2/caja/result/bin/caja

Here I have put a pastebin with strace (it will expire in 2 weeks):
http://pastebin.com/saiJgc7Q

Can someone help me here? Why it doesn't find gsettings?
