  26         GConf requires you to call <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gconf/gconf-gconf-client.html#gconf-client-add-dir"><code class="function">gconf_client_add_dir()</code></a> and

  28         GSettings, this is not necessary; signals get emitted automatically
  29         for every change.

  34         if you need to see groups of keys that get changed at the same time.
  35       </p>
  36 <p>
  37         GSettings also notifies you about changes in writability of keys,
