There's supposed to be another dconf key here called overlay-key for setting the key that brings up the Overview on GNOME. Neither dconf nor gsettings seem to find it, however.

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar dconf will only show settings that were explicitly written, that is, set to a non-default value 02:50:59
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar We intentionally do not expose schemas to gsettings program but it would typically show because the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable is inherited from gnome-shell 03:02:17

Why are package schemas not added to XDG_DATA_DIRS?

Because there could be conflicts if we had to dig in arbitrarily deep.
09:04:54
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan TojnarIt is a consequence of not having single FHS tree09:05:49

What kind of conflicts? Could you give an example?
09:21:17
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan TojnarIf you have two different versions of a package how would the correct schema got chosen?09:27:07
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan TojnarIf an incorrect one is selected, it can crash.09:27:27
@me:linj.techlinjAdding two different versions of a package to environment.systemPackages is not a use case nixos should support, I think.09:31:16
@me:linj.techlinjcrashing is bad though09:31:33

What's the solution then? I want to be able to use that specific key I mentioned.

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar Right, picking only schemas for packages explicitly installed to environment.systemPackages would be an option. But for example mutter is a transitive dependency, so is e.g. GTK, which people would want to configure too. There were issues in the past where a library modified a schema and then unwrapped programs compiled in Nixpkgs revision started crashing. 10:40:27

I didn't implement this yet, but it seems that, in my Home Manager configuration, removing lib.mkDefault does make those missing options like overlay-key show up.
