Hey, Thanks J Phani for this contribution!
As explained to Jorge on IRC yesterday, still some work is needed to 
integrate it into ubuntu:

It would be better to use the python gobject gsettings binding rather 
than calling subprocess for gsettings reset directly. Also, not having 
the list hard-coded by detecting which schemas are installed on the 
system: otherwise, gsettings might fail if you reset a schema which 
isn't installed, and you can miss some if you don't reset extra plugins 
not part of the default install. (And the default list can also change 
over releases).

Cheers,
Didier
