Looks like it's a problem with the XDG Template directory being set to the home directory, and it now just recurses and recurses and recurses and gets FAR too busy.

Specifically, it's about `$HOME/` not being recognised as the home directory because of the trailing slash.

So either edit your config as per the Debian comment, or wait for your distro to release the fix.
First a bit of context for the GLib project, which is comprised of three main parts: GLib, GObject and GIO. #GLib contains things you'd generally get from a standard library, #GObject defines the OOP semantics (methods/properties/signals, inheritance, etc), and #GIO provides reasonably high-level APIs for everything from sockets and files to D-Bus and Gio.DesktopAppInfo.

Well that's something new. Must be a circular dependency between glib-2.82.4,2 and gobject-introspection@bootstrap, but I'm not entirely sure which port to file a bug against; I suspect gobject-introspection.
I have not blogged or talked about the follow-up work to my "GType Next" blog post that I've been doing in my spare time, mainly because it is happening *in my spare time*, and I don't want to give false impressions to people; the other reason is that the time consuming bit is not writing a bunch of code, but it's planning ahead, because the goal is to avoid breaking stuff at all costs…
Ciekawostka: jeżeli różne programy sypią się z błędami typu:
(…): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 20:46:27.286: Settings schema '…' does not contain a key named '…'
a macie pewność, że schematy skompilowane, i definitywnie zawierają taki klucz, to może okazać się, że z jakiegoś powodu w waszym katalogu domowym siedzi dodatkowy plik ze skompilowanymi schematami, i jest używany zamiast systemowego.
Czyli:
rm ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
Fun fact: if random applications are crashing with errors like:
(…): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 20:46:27.286: Settings schema '…' does not contain a key named '…'
and you've already verified that you've compiled the schemas, and that the schema contains the listed key, then it may mean that for some reason you have another compiled schema file in your home directory, and it's taking precedence.
In other words:
rm ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
