I think most of it should be covered in the packaging guidelines, but
what I always do is to find a simple spec to copy from, e.g. this one

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gcalctool/devel/gcalctool.spec?view=markup

There is a few parts here, you need to have %post, %preun and %preun
sections that handle the installation and deinstallation, and
corresponding Requires for GConf2. 

Schema files are definitively not conffiles, so the non-conffile warning
should be ignored.
