Bug Description

- running Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92+devel 15500
- the preferences are set to use the gtk open dialog
- go to File->Open
- get a dialog window saying "Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting"
- get another dialog, attached here
- get the following DOS message:
- not reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.0 r15299

......................................................................
(inkscape.exe:17328): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'object-visible-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

(inkscape.exe:17328): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

Gtk-Message (recursed): GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

  http://download.tuxfamily.org/inkscape/win64/

AFAICT there are no glib schemas included in the trunk 7z file (at least I did not find them - they usually are installed as $XDG_DATA_DIRS/glib-2.0/schemas/*.xml).

Changed in inkscape:

Crash no longer reproduced with inkscape_trunk_r15113 after downloading the schemas from the devlibs64 repository:
 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs64/trunk/files/head:/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

and copying them into
 share\glib-2.0\schemas\
inside the unpacked trunk build.

The same workaround also stops the crashes as reported in bug #1663999.

AFAICT this is a packaging issue with GTK3-based applications compiled on/for Windows.
