GSettings schemas have more stringent restrictions on key names
than GConf. Key names in GSettings are restricted to at most 32
characters, and must only consist of lowercase characters, numbers
and dashes, with no consecutive dashes. The first character must
not be a number or dash, and the last character cannot be '-'.
The <link linkend="gschema-compile">gschema-compile</link> schema
compiler has a <option>--allow-any-name</option> that lets you
ignore these restrictions. Note that this option is only meant
to facilitate the migration from GConf, and you should make your
key names follow the more stringent GSettings rules when you
migrate your data from GConf to dconf.
