Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2010-07-02 14:38:09 UTC 
to support GSettings working without a mainloop we should drop incoming signals if nobody is listening (ie: no signal handlers connected)

this prevents a queue-up of unprocessed notifications
Comment 1 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2010-10-04 05:55:49 UTC 
One possibility: check g_signal_has_handler_pending() when the user does a _get() on the GSettings and register the watch only at this point.
