Bug#815639: geary: Geary won't start

[Michael Gratton]

Hi,

This is a system configuration and/or GLib bug, depending on how you 
look at it.

If you examine each $PREFIX/glib-2.0/schemas for each $PREFIX in 
$XDG_DATA_DIRS, you will find one of the prefixes before /usr/share 
contains an old schema XML file for Geary that does not contain the 
missing key. This is being found before the packaged schema in 
/usr/share, and hence GSettings cannot find the updated schema.

To fix, remove the old schema file, then recompile the schemas there 
using `glib-compile-schemas PATH/TO/SCHEMA_DIR`.

I recommend closing this bug or moving it to GLib, in case they are 
interested in fixing the root problem.

//Mike
