You're welcome.

I forgot to answer your question about "no such schema". I don't
really know what to do except to check what keys exist with

dconf list /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/

(I tried to come up with a gsettings invocation for about 5 minutes
and then gave up. Had I known about dconf when I first needed to
change the icon size, I would've probably have used dconf too because
figuring out how gsettings works is a PitA!)
