Schemas -- not being compiled on X-application install

[Darren Goossens]

I have an up-to-date Cygwin install, installed using -no-admin on Win 10. Completely vanilla. 

When I install X-applications (using setup-XXX.exe) that have schema information, they seem to frequently throw an error and not work. It seems to be because the installation is not running glib-compile-schemas after the schema information is unpacked into /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

If I run this manually, it throws warnings but no errors (see below) and fixes the problem. So I am wondering if some changes to the install process might be needed?

Apologies if I have used the wrong terminology. I'm just a desktop user.

Here is a typical session after installing nautilus (similar occurred after installing eog):
