Nice, but fairly clunky. Instead of dconf.settings."org/gnome/desktop/screensaver".picture-uri = "file:///run/current-system/sw/share/backgrounds/gnome/vnc-d.png";, it would be cool to be able to do dconf.settings.org.gnome.desktop.screensaver.picture-uri = ./vnc-d.png;
Wish I had the time to add this sort of thing to vanilla nixpkgs.
Good point. The main change, though, was that the entire settings structure was an attribute set rather than having to deal with obtuse strings like “org/gnome/desktop/screensaver”.
This is a great tool to have when managing dconf settings: https://github.com/gvolpe/dconf2nix

It’d be interesting to apply this to other things too - i.e., the macOS user defaults database.
