| <p> |
| GConf requires you to call <code class="function">gconf_client_add_dir()</code> and |
| <code class="function">gconf_client_notify_add()</code> to get change notification. With |
| GSettings, this is not necessary; signals get emitted automatically |
| for every change. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#GSettings-changed" title="The “changed” signal"><span class="type">“changed”</span></a> signal is emitted for each changed key. |
| There is also a <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#GSettings-change-event" title="The “change-event” signal"><span class="type">“change-event”</span></a> signal that you can handle |
| if you need to see groups of keys that get changed at the same time. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| GSettings also notifies you about changes in writability of keys, |
| with the <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#GSettings-writable-changed" title="The “writable-changed” signal"><span class="type">“writable-changed”</span></a> signal (and the |
| <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#GSettings-writable-change-event" title="The “writable-change-event” signal"><span class="type">“writable-change-event”</span></a> signal). |
