/**
 * SECTION:gsettings
 * @short_description: a high-level API for application settings
 *
 * The #GSettings class provides a convenient API for storing and retrieving
 * application settings.
 *
 * When creating a GSettings instance, you have to specify a schema
 * that describes the keys in your settings and their types and default
 * values, as well as some other information.
 *
 * Normally, a schema has as fixed path that determines where the settings
 * are stored in the conceptual global tree of settings. However, schemas
 * can also be 'relocatable', i.e. not equipped with a fixed path. This is
 * useful e.g. when the schema describes an 'account', and you want to be
 * able to store a arbitrary number of accounts.
 *
 * Unlike other configuration systems (like GConf), GSettings does not
 * restrict keys to basic types like strings and numbers. GSettings stores
 * values as #GVariant, and allows any #GVariantType for keys. Key names
 * are restricted to lowercase characters, numbers and '-'. Furthermore,
 * the names must begin with a lowercase character, must not end
 * with a '-', and must not contain consecutive dashes. Key names can
 * be up to 32 characters long.
 *
 * Similar to GConf, the default values in GSettings schemas can be
 * localized, but the localized values are stored in gettext catalogs
 * and looked up with the domain that is specified in the
 * <tag class="attribute">gettext-domain</tag> attribute of the
 * <tag class="starttag">schemalist</tag> or <tag class="starttag">schema</tag>
 * elements and the category that is specified in the l10n attribute of the
 * <tag class="starttag">key</tag> element.
 *
 * GSettings uses schemas in a compact binary form that is created
 * by the <link linkend="glib-compile-schemas">glib-compile-schemas</link>
 * utility. The input is a schema description in an XML format that can be
 * described by the following DTD:
 * |[<![CDATA[
 * <!ELEMENT schemalist (schema*) >
 * <!ATTLIST schemalist gettext-domain #IMPLIED >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT schema (key|child)* >
 * <!ATTLIST schema id             CDATA #REQUIRED
 *                  path           CDATA #IMPLIED
 *                  gettext-domain CDATA #IMPLIED >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT key (default|summary?|description?|range?|choices?) >
 * <!-- name can only contain lowercase letters, numbers and '-' -->
 * <!-- type must be a GVariant type string -->
 * <!ATTLIST key name CDATA #REQUIRED
 *               type CDATA #REQUIRED >
 *
 * <!-- the default value is specified a a serialized GVariant,
 *      i.e. you have to include the quotes when specifying a string -->
 * <!ELEMENT default (#PCDATA) >
 * <!-- the presence of the l10n attribute marks a default value for
 *      translation, its value is the gettext category to use -->
 * <!-- if context is present, it specifies msgctxt to use -->
 * <!ATTLIST default l10n (messages|time) #IMPLIED
 *                   context CDATA #IMPLIED >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT summary (#PCDATA) >
 * <!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA) >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT range EMPTY >
 * <!ATTLIST range min CDATA #REQUIRED
 *                 max CDATA #REQUIRED >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT choices (choice+) >
 * <!ELEMENT choice (alias?) >
 * <!ATTLIST choice value CDATA #REQUIRED >
 * <!ELEMENT choice (alias?) >
 * <!ELEMENT alias EMPTY >
 * <!ATTLIST alias value CDATA #REQUIRED >
 *
 * <!ELEMENT child EMPTY >
 * <!ATTLIST child name  CDATA #REQUIRED
 *                 schema CDATA #REQUIRED >
 * ]]>
 * ]|
 *
 * At runtime, schemas are identified by their id (as specified
 * in the <tag class="attribute">id</tag> attribute of the
 * <tag class="starttag">schema</tag> element). The
 * convention for schema ids is to use a dotted name, similar in
 * style to a DBus bus name, e.g. "org.gnome.font-rendering".
 *
 * <refsect2>
 *  <title>Binding</title>
 *   <para>
 *    A very convenient feature of GSettings lets you bind #GObject properties
 *    directly to settings, using g_settings_bind(). Once a GObject property
 *    has been bound to a setting, changes on either side are automatically
 *    propagated to the other side. GSettings handles details like
 *    mapping between GObject and GVariant types, and preventing infinite
 *    cycles.
 *   </para>
 *   <para>
 *    This makes it very easy to hook up a preferences dialog to the
 *    underlying settings. To make this even more convenient, GSettings
 *    looks for a boolean property with the name "sensitivity" and
 *    automatically binds it to the writability of the bound setting.
 *    If this 'magic' gets in the way, it can be suppressed with the
 *    #G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY flag.
 *   </para>

 * supported by the default mapping functions.
 *
 * Unless the @flags include %G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY, this
 * function also establishes a binding between the writability of
 * @key and the "sensitive" property of @object (if @object has
 * a boolean property by that name). See g_settings_bind_writable()
 * for more details about writable bindings.
 *
 * Note that the lifecycle of the binding is tied to the object,
