Comment(by tomeu):

 I have no problem with the suggested change itself, but if packagers
 aren't properly installing the schema files, important functionality in
 Sugar will stop working, unless we recode a gconf replacement.

 Though we can say that gconf values are user input, and Sugar should
 indeed be as tolerant as possible there.

 About making a bugfix releases, this will depend on the interest that
 packagers will show.

 A patch would be very appreciated, see
