gnome-tweak-tool crashed with signal 5 in g_settings_set_property()

[Philip Muškovac]

I installed gnome-tweak-tool in kubuntu to check the settings for my gnome applications and got this:

$ gnome-tweak-tool
No schema known for `/apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font'
No schema known for `/apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font'

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_font_button_set_font_name: assertion `fontname != NULL' failed

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

If gnome-tweak-tool can't work without gnome-settings-daemon then it should depend on it.
