When a channel is locked, and a gobject property that is bound to an xfconf-property is changed. xfconf gives a warning that the property could not be set. Now, what would be the correct approach to propagate that 'locked' state back to the original gobject property? Create a lookup-table that contains the gobject and xfconf property-names, and guard the _set functions with xfconf_channel_is_property_locked? Or is there a way to solve this that involves modifying xfconf_g_property_bind?
If we silently not write I think it's fine. We could check if the property has a "sensitive" property and set it so false if locked?
