Hi,  
I’m also struggling to apply settings to gnome-Apps.  
Based on [this posting](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/changing-gdm-gsettings-declaratively/49579/2), I created this:

```auto
  programs.dconf.profiles.user = {
    databases = [{
      lockAll = true;
      settings = {
        "org/maliit/keyboard/maliit" = {
          enabled-languages = "['de']";
          theme = "BreezeDark";
        };
        "org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences" = {
          button-layout = "";
        };
      };
    }];
  };

```

the button-layout configuration is working, but my Maliit-settings seem to be ignored.  
Has anyone an idea, what I’m doing wrong?
