# GConfClient higher-level API

GConfClient is a GObject subclass that should be used instead of GConfEngine in most applications. GConfClient tries to minimize the need to make remote calls to the GConf daemon by keeping more information on the client side. It also has a default error handler that comes into play if you pass NULL for the `GError**` argument to any GConfClient methods.

# A Complete Example

The example is in examples/basic-gconf-app.c in the GConf tarball, but hasn't made it into this document yet.
