Package is missing some GSettings schemas. You can find out the package containing the schema with `nix-locate org.gnome.foo.gschema.xml` and let the hooks handle the wrapping as [above](#ssec-gnome-common-issues-no-schemas).

### When using `wrapGApps*` hook with special derivers you can end up with double wrapped binaries. {#ssec-gnome-common-issues-double-wrapped}

This is because derivers like `python.pkgs.buildPythonApplication` or `qt5.mkDerivation` have setup-hooks automatically added that produce wrappers with makeWrapper. The simplest way to workaround that is to disable the `wrapGApps*` hook automatic wrapping with `dontWrapGApps = true;` and pass the arguments it intended to pass to makeWrapper to another.

This is because some setup hooks like `qt6.wrapQtAppsHook` also wrap programs using `makeWrapper`. Likewise, some derivers (e.g. `python.pkgs.buildPythonApplication`) automatically pull in their own setup hooks that produce wrappers.

The simplest workaround is to disable the `wrapGApps*` hook's automatic wrapping using `dontWrapGApps = true;` while passing its `makeWrapper` arguments to another wrapper.

In the case of a Python application it could look like:
