#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# This program demonstrates how to use GConf.  The key thing is that
# the main window and the prefs dialog have NO KNOWLEDGE of one
# another as far as configuration values are concerned; they don't
# even have to be in the same process. That is, the GConfClient acts
# as the data "model" for configuration information; the main
# application is a "view" of the model; and the prefs dialog is a
# "controller."
#
# You can tell if your application has done this correctly by
# using "gconftool" instead of your preferences dialog to set
# preferences. For example:
# 
# gconftool --type=string --set /apps/basic-gconf-app/foo "My string"
# 
# If that doesn't work every bit as well as setting the value
# via the prefs dialog, then you aren't doing things right. ;-)
#
#
# If you really want to be mean to your app, make it survive
# this:
# 
# gconftool --break-key /apps/basic-gconf-app/foo
# 
# Remember, the GConf database is just like an external file or
# the network - it may have bogus values in it. GConf admin
# tools will let people put in whatever they can think of.
# 
# GConf does guarantee that string values will be valid UTF-8, for
# convenience.
# 

# Throughout, this program is letting GConfClient use its default
# error handlers rather than checking for errors or attaching custom
# handlers to the "unreturned_error" signal. Thus the last arg to
# GConfClient functions is None.
#

# Special mention of an idiom often used in GTK+ apps that does
# not work right with GConf but may appear to at first:
#
# i_am_changing_value = True
# change_value (value)
# i_am_changing_value = False
# 
# This breaks for several reasons: notification of changes
# may be asynchronous, you may get notifications that are not
# caused by change_value () while change_value () is running,
# since GConf will enter the main loop, and also if you need
# this code to work you are probably going to have issues
# when someone other than yourself sets the value.
# 
# A robust solution in this case is often to compare the old
# and new values to see if they've really changed, thus avoiding
# whatever loop you were trying to avoid.

  # up with a copy of the whole GConf database. ;-)

# about the existence of the main window; it is purely a way to fool
# with the GConf database. It never does something like change
# the main window directly; it ONLY changes GConf keys via
# GConfClient. This is _important_, because people may configure
# your app without using your preferences dialog.
#
# This is an instant-apply prefs dialog. For a complicated
# apply/revert/cancel dialog as in GNOME 1, see the
# complex-gconf-app.c example. But don't actually copy that example
# in GNOME 2, thanks. ;-) complex-gconf-app.c does show how
