+ * info database for changes (ie: newly installed or removed
+ * applications).
+ *
+ * Call get() to get a %Gio::AppInfoMonitor and connect to signal_changed().
+ *
+ * In the usual case, applications should try to make note of the change
+ * (doing things like invalidating caches) but not act on it. In
+ * particular, applications should avoid making calls to Gio::AppInfo APIs
+ * in response to the change signal, deferring these until the time that
+ * the data is actually required. The exception to this case is when
+ * application information is actually being displayed on the screen
+ * (eg: during a search or when the list of all applications is shown).
+ * The reason for this is that changes to the list of installed
+ * applications often come in groups (like during system updates) and
+ * rescanning the list on every change is pointless and expensive.
