[glib/wip/settings-backend: 5/14] GSettingsBackend: turn 'event' into a proper signal

[Ryan Lortie <ryanl src gnome org>]

commit 6681e7bf9c64817e6134879becf914715eb1c679
Author: Ryan Lortie <desrt desrt ca>
Date:   Thu Dec 29 14:16:09 2011 -0500

    GSettingsBackend: turn 'event' into a proper signal
    
    Now that signals connected to GObjects are threadsafe, it is far easier
    for us to do it this way.
