/**
 * SECTION:clutter-settings
 * @Title: ClutterSettings
 * @Short_Description: Settings configuration
 *
 * Clutter depends on some settings to perform operations like detecting
 * multiple button press events, or font options to render text.
 *
 * Usually, Clutter will strive to use the platform's settings in order
 * to be as much integrated as possible. It is, however, possible to
 * change these settings on a per-application basis, by using the
 * #ClutterSettings singleton object and setting its properties. It is
 * also possible, for toolkit developers, to retrieve the settings from
 * the #ClutterSettings properties when implementing new UI elements,
 * for instance the default font name.
 *
 * #ClutterSettings is available since Clutter 1.4
