Please update your gsettings-desktop-schemas to 42.0-1 (or higher).

You're likely to hit more of these kinds of bugs if you don't
regularly install all available updates. It is a valid bug but most
people won't see it and it's impossible for developers to test every
arbitrary combination of package versions.

It looks like you still have a lot of Debian 11 packages installed
(gnome-shell, gnome-settings-daemon ,etc.) instead of the current
Testing versions.

Thank you,
