I use home-manager to configure my keyboard shortcuts via dconf. This used to work fine but since a recent update on unstable I am seeing my keyboard shortcuts forgotten when I restart my machine (doesn't happen on just a log out, will check a restart of just gnome shortly...)

If I diff using the dconf2nix2 tool before and after I get:

❯ diff dconf-before.nix dconf-after.nix
110,111c110,111
<       sources = [ (mkTuple [ "xkb" "gb" ]) ];
<       xkb-options = [ "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" ];

I use <Super>s and <Super>m for tiling window manager shortcuts which is what notice.

They are each mapped by default to one of toggle-message-tray, toggle-overview (forget which way around) so I remove each from the list to override.

Does anyone have any idea why my dconf settings are not persisting?

Silas Davis: you might want to try the "not-working" settings in services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.extraGSettingsOverrides

“so I remove each from the list to override” what list? How are you doing that? If you want to unset the keybinding, you will need to explicitly set it to empty list.
