Ubuntu – How to use gsettings from /opt

The rules for the contest is that your application must entirely run in /opt. While in future contests we hope to be able to relax this requirement (as we sandbox Ubuntu better in the future), right now we need to require that your app runs fully in /opt.

You may be confused by the language; they all mean the same, ie:

"run out of" == "run in" == "installed in" (all in /opt)

The exceptions are:

• The standard files in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> are permitted, such as copyright, changelog, and examples.
• The .desktop file is installed in the standard location /usr/share/applications, but must have the prefix extras- added to its name. Example: extras-foobar.desktop for a package named foobar.
• Lenses and scopes are installed in the standard locations, but must have the prefix extras- added to their names. Example: extras-unity-lens-foobar.lens for a package named unity-lens-foobar.
