There is a huge transition underway on unstable to migrate to 64-bit
time_t. After upgrading to the new libglib2.0-0t64, nothing could find
gsettings desktop schemas, breaking applications like rednotebook and
reportbug (lol), and after a reboot, stopping services like at-spi from
starting, causing huge timeouts at system and application start.
A workaround that worked for me was to reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas:
# apt-get reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas
