When integrating with optional components like Clocks, it is not safe
to access their GSettings right after the application became visible
to the AppSystem:
Installation is usually not atomic, so the .desktop file may appear
before the settings schema, in which case Gio will abort due to an
"invalid" schema ID.
To address this, add a small helper class that wraps the settings
access in a safe way.
