Method Gnome.AppletWidget()->sync_config()

Method sync_config: Gnome.AppletWidget sync_config()
Description: Tell the panel to save our session here (just saves, no shutdown). This should be done when you change some of your config and want the panel to save it's config, you should NOT call this in the session_save handler as it will result in a locked panel, as it will actually trigger another session_save signal for you. However it also asks for a complete panel save, so you should not do this too often, and only when the user has changed some preferences and you want to sync them to disk. Theoretically you don't even need to do that if you don't mind loosing settings on a panel crash or when the user kills the session without logging out properly, since the panel will always save your session when it exists.
