Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2012-01-19 15:50:28 UTC 
This will let you whack some gsettings keys directly into the action
group of your application for easy access from your menus.

add a way to create a GAction from GSettings

g_settings_create_action() will create a GAction for the named key,
allowing it to be added to the action group of the application (so that
the setting can be directly manipulated from menus, for example).

Looks nice, I think. The only thing missing is a testcase

Would be good to also show this off on the gtk side.
What we really need is some nice article about best practices for
using gsettings in a gtk app.
