Confirmed, i'm getting this too. I think it's a recent change, as I've used it successfully in the past on saucy-pre (a week or so ago?)

I believe this bug is related to bug 1235543. I have identified the issue with the other bug and I am sure it will fix this one as well. For some back story, some Unity configurations has been removed from gsettings and moved into nux[1]. This created some missing schema that crashes unity-tweak-tool. I have since went ahead and removed those configurations, which I believe will not crash our tool. They can't be configured anymore, so removing them is the only way going forward.
