Jean-Christophe eventually filed a bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122537

There's two issues here:

- python setup.py install isn't running glib-compile-schemas where it is
dumping our schema.
- gsettings likely doesn't know to look in /usr/local/share for schemas.

I don't want to go down the route of making this automatically work, since
virt-manager would have to mess with GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR which seems error
prone. However we can at least make the build system warn about what manual
steps are likely required to get gsettings install working.
