/** Monitor application information for changes.
 *
 * %Gio::AppInfoMonitor is a very simple object used for monitoring the app
 * 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.
