<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
Panel Applet MateConf Utilities

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Utility methods for manipulating per-applet MateConf preferences.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
Applets typically define a set of preferences using a schemas
file and mate_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.
</para>

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

<!-- ##### FUNCTION mate_panel_applet_mateconf_get_float ##### -->
<para>
Convience wrapper for mateconf_client_get_float() which operates
on the individual per-applet key.
</para>

<para>
If you pass %NULL for @opt_error, this function will print
a warning message from any #GError which mateconf_client_get_float()
returns.
</para>

@applet: The #MatePanelApplet.
@key: The key name of the preference.
@opt_error: Optional #GError**.
@Returns: The floating point value of the key.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION mate_panel_applet_mateconf_get_list ##### -->
<para>
Convience wrapper for mateconf_client_get_list() which operates
on the individual per-applet key.
</para>

<para>
If you pass %NULL for @opt_error, this function will print
a warning message from any #GError which mateconf_client_get_list()
returns.
</para>

@applet: The #MatePanelApplet.
@key: The key name of the preference.
@list_type: The MateConf value type of the list elements.
@opt_error: Optional #GError**.
@Returns: The list of values set for the key.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION mate_panel_applet_mateconf_get_value ##### -->
<para>
Convience wrapper for mateconf_client_get_value() which operates
on the individual per-applet key.
</para>

<para>
