error :

The address of the GError object, if an error occurs.

Returns :

A borrowed reference to a configuration client object.

awn_config_get_default_for_applet ()

DesktopAgnosticConfigClient * awn_config_get_default_for_applet
                                                        (AwnApplet *applet,
                                                         GError **error);

error :

The address of the GError object, if an error occurs.

Returns :

awn_config_get_default_for_applet_by_info ()

DesktopAgnosticConfigClient * awn_config_get_default_for_applet_by_info
                                                        (const gchar *name,
