How to set custom GNOME 3 settings for Fedora Remix?

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Thank you a lot, that helped immensely!

I got the idea how GNOME 3 and schemes work, but still can't make it
work via kickstat file in %post
Ideas are simple enough but I guess that I'm using it nobody expected to ;)

I guess that I have to run "dbus-launch glib-compile-schemas" instead
just "glib-compile-schemas" when running it from %post part of
kicstart file...

Will report back, but this was the info I was looking for, than you once more.
