I think we need to check with desrt to see if this limitation still
exists - I remember there was talk about lifting it.

I can't yet find any evidence the limitation exists.

the limitation was dropping that commit:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=fe6dad271b06e6243d17137c2e0991f56a256cca

"GSettings: remove key length restrictions
The key length now stands effectively unlimited at 1024 characters.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654536 "

"the limitation was dropped in that commit" rather

Raised to high, because without this fix compiz will install invalid schemas (truncated key names) and CCSM will crash trying to access them.
