+        The GSettings (<filename>gsettings</filename>) class
+        provides common functionality for recipes that need to install
+        GSettings (glib) schemas.
+        The schemas are assumed to be part of the main package.
+        Appropriate post-installation and post-remove (postinst/postrm)
+        scriptlets are added to register and unregister the schemas in the
+        target image.
