Picking a random gconf-using project (say gcalctool), I see that they
have twof schema-related things in their Makefile.am:

if GCONF_SCHEMAS_INSTALL
# Install the gcalctool schema file.
install-data-local:
        GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=$(GCONF_SCHEMA_CONFIG_SOURCE) $(GCONFTOOL)
--makefile-install-rule $(srcdir)/$(schema_DATA)
endif

This is about the gconftool call that packagers prefer to omit with
the help of that env var.


schemadir   = @GCONF_SCHEMA_FILE_DIR@
schema_in_files = gcalctool.schemas.in
schema_DATA = $(schema_in_files:.schemas.in=.schemas)
@INTLTOOL_SCHEMAS_RULE@

This part is about poking translations into the schemas with intltool
and installing the resulting schemas files in /etc/gconf/schemas.


So, I'd say your Makefile handles the first part just fine now, but it
still lacks the equivalent of the second part.
