When listing schemas from a specified directory, explicitly
create the GSettings object from the schema, don't allow g_settings_new
to do the usual lookup. That lookup fails if no other schemas are
installed in the default directories.
Fixes#3429.
Add SPDX license (but not copyright) headers to all files which follow a
certain pattern in their existing non-machine-readable header comment.

This makes use of the string we now have from glib-private.h in the
last commit so that setlocale() sets the default system locale
correctly and therefore show the translated messages properly.
Fixes issue #1169.
Some projects use child schemas in an odd way: they link children which
already have their path pre-defined. This causes the child schema (and
its keys) to be printed out twice:
- once because it is, itself, a non-relocatable schema
- once, as a recursion from its parent
We can avoid this by not recursing into child schemas that are
non-relocatable (on the assumption that they will be enumerated
elsewhere).

Use the newly added g_settings_schema_list_keys() API instead of
g_settings_list_keys() in order to list keys.
Doing this allows the 'list-keys' command to work without creating a
GSettings object, which is more efficient. It also means that we don't
have to provide a (meaningless and ignored) path when listing keys on
relocatable schemas.
While we're at it, update the 'range' command not to require creation of
a GSettings object, in a similar way.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740308
GSettings objects begin watching for changes as soon as they are created
in order that they can emit the "changed" signal.
In the case of dconf, if we want to be able to emit the changed signal,
we need to go on the bus and add some match rules. This requires
creating the dconf helper thread and also requires initialising GDBus
(which creates another thread).
Some users of GSettings are never interested in the "changed" signal.
One of these users is the glib-networking code that gets run every time
a new network connection is created.
Some users are reporting that they are annoyed that simply establishing
a network connection would spawn two extra threads and create a D-Bus
connection.
In order to avoid doing unnecessary work for these simple uses, delay
the subscription until we know that we will actually need to do it.
We do this in a simple way, using a simple argument: in order for the
user to care that a value changed then they must have:
1) watched for a change signal; and then
2) actually read a value
If the user didn't actually read a value then they cannot possibly be
interested in if the value changed or not (since they never knew the old
value to begin with and therefore would be unable to observe that it
ever changed, since they have nothing to compare the new value with).
This really is a behaviour change, however, and it does impact at least
one user: the 'monitor' functionality of the GSettings commandline tool,
which is interested in reporting changes without ever having known the
original values. We add a workaround to the commandline tool in order
to ensure that it continues to function properly.
It's also possible to argue that it is completely valid to have read a
value and _then_ established a change signal connection under the
(correct) assumption that it would not have been possible to miss a
change signal by virtue of not having returned to the mainloop.
Although this argument is true, this pattern is extremely non-idiomatic,
and the problem is easily avoided by doing things in the usual order.
We never really talked about change notification in the overview
documentation for GSettings, so it seems like now is a good time to add
some discussion, including the new rules for when one can expect change
signals to be emitted.

The previous patch to simplify the GSettings commandline tool by making
more use of global variables went a bit too far and broke 'gsettings
monitor' when used without a specific key.
Fix that up again.
Stop using the recently-deprecated GSettings APIs.
Use the GSettingsSchema-based APIs instead.
This fixes a number of bugs and also a net reduction of code. In
particular, list-schemas will now work in context of a given --schemadir
argument.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695558
The number of arguments passed to each function is about to increase, so
just use global variables instead.
This is a commandline tool, after all...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695558
Rather than using "extern" declarations of these win32 functions
everywhere they're needed, just prototype them in glib-private.h.
(Which also fixes the fact that they weren't prototyped in the files
where they're defined.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688109
Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

It happens that one wants to customize settings for plugins or
shell extensions, that installing schemas in nonstandard locations.
This patch adds the --schemadir option to gsettings, and ensure
that the appropriate schema is found.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666415
There are some bugs caused by the way that gsettings-tool currently
attempts to help the user when they leave the quotes off of a string
value that they are setting.
Simplify the code to make it more robust and add some comments about why
it should be done this way.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649915
Make the schema argument to gsettings list-recursively optional.
This allows to search for not exactly known keys by going
gsettings list-recursively | grep 'font'
This is similar to gconftool-2 -R, which is very handy
for collecting information for bug reports, etc. It is now
possible to say gsettings list-recursively org.foo.bar, and
this will produce a list of schemas, keys and values for
org.foo.bar and all its child and grandchild schemata,
recursively.

Provides access to the g_settings_get_range() functionality, converting
its return value to something that's reasonable for printing at the
console and potentially parseable. The format may change.
Bug #631264.
Prevent assertion messages from spewing forth and also ensure that we
exit with an error status in the event that the value was out of range.
