Description

Applets typically define a set of preferences using a schemas file and panel_applet_add_preferences(). Such preferences apply only to an individual applet instance. For example, you may add two clock applets to the panel and configure them differently.

In order for the preferences to only apply to a single applet, each applet must have a seperate GConf key for each of these preferences. The methods described below provide convient wrappers around the usual GConfClient functions and operate on these per-applet keys.

Details

panel_applet_gconf_get_full_key ()

gchar*      panel_applet_gconf_get_full_key (PanelApplet *applet,

Access the full path for an individual per-applet GConf key. Using the returned path you may directly modify the preference using the usual GConf functions without using any of the convenience wrappers described below.

`applet` :	The PanelApplet.
`key` :	The key name of the preference.
Returns :	The full GConf key - free using `g_free()`.
