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.

the returned path you may directly modify the preference using
the usual MateConf functions without using any of the convenience
wrappers described below.

a warning message from any #GError which mateconf_client_get_float()
returns.
</para>
