       changes.

       The schema and key arguments are required to specify the schema id and the name of the key to operate on.

       When setting a key, you also need specify a value The format for the value is that of a serialized GVariant, so e.g. a
       string must include explicit quotes: "'foo'". This format is also used when printing out values.
