I've never head about that --skip-build option (nor can I find
information about it), but I guess it is to be expected. The .mo and
.schemas files are generated at build time (from the .po and
.schemas.in files).

Well, the same could be done with the gnome-activity-journal
executable directly. I'll look into this.

I see; that's indeed a problem. Have you tried with "../etc"?

By the way, Debian-based systems use /usr/share for GConf schemas
(/etc/gconf/schemas doesn't exist at all on my system), and if I
remember correctly the same is true for some RPM based distribution
(maybe SUSE? But in that case their build system has some retarded
script to move the file from etc/ to usr/share which breaks if the
file is already in usr/share by default...).

Cheers and thanks for your interest in Zeitgeist,
