Bug Description

[Impact]
One of the applets shipped in gnome-applets package is broken. It crashes on startup because of missing GSettings schema file.

[Test Case]
* Log into GNOME Flashback session.
* Try to add the “Window picker” applet to the panel.

Expected result: panel does not crash, applet is added.

[Proposed Fix]
The proposed fix just makes the gsettings schema installed:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/commit/?id=6aedbc3a6af54190

[Regression Potential]
None, as the fix just adds a missing file.

  * Backport upstream patch to fix window-picker crash because of missing
    GSettings schema (windowpicker_gschema.diff; LP: #1729728).
  * Remove trailing whitespace from debian/changelog.

I have tested on Artful with proposed enabled and can confirm that this fixes the issue. The schema is now being installed and I can add the applet to the panel without the panel crashing.
