Description Owen Taylor 2001-01-03 17:10:09 UTC 
There needs to be a mechanism for configuring global settings 
such as the double-click timeout and drag threshhold.

This will work either from the RC file or from X properties
on the display (the latter will be the typical case for 
desktop apps), and will be implemented via the GParamSpec
mechanism.

The tricky point of this is that property settings may be
set before the property is initialized. 

Tim has an initial implementation which needs to be finished
and committed.

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2001-04-02 23:28:40 UTC 
Now in CVS in two parts:

 - Global GtkSettings object for notification / rc files

 - Bridge in GDK to the draft XSETTINGS mechanism on X, 
   should be able to bridge to other system settings mechanisms
   on other platforms.
