IBus engine maintainers, I'd request each IBus engine maintainer to migrate their DConf DB to GSettings one. Currently IBus provides IBusConfig APIs using DConf or GConf likes ibus_config_get_value(), ibus_config_set_value() to refer their preferences and now I'm thinking each engine can use GSettings APIs directly likes g_settings_get_value(), g_settings_set_value() without IBusBus instead of the DConf APIs. If your engine does not use IBusConfig, probably I think you don't have to migrate your DB to GSettings one. I'm thinking to delete IBusConfig in coming IBus 1.6 [1].
Please refer org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.gschema.xml of https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus-anthy/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.gschema.xml.in ibus-anthy uses "a{sv}" or "av" format which can add new elements instead of new keys. You can test it: % cp org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.gschema.xml.in \ org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.gschema.xml % cp org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.gschema.xml \ /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas % sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas % gsettings list-recursively org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.common If your DConf DB does not have the complicated format, gsettings-schema-convert command can change GConf DB to GSettings DB [2]. My concern about GSettings was that GSettings cannot add new keys against the pre-registered DBs although DConf can do and waited for GSettingsList implementation to resolve the concern but seems GSettingsList won't be available [3]. Thinking about GSettings, GSettings provides various formats with GVariant against DConf and I think we can migrate DConf DBs to GSettings ones. The idea is to use "av" format or tuple format and I could migrate ibus-anthy from DConf to GSettings ultimately [4]. Let me know if you have any concerns or problems in the migration.
