some MATE apps don't receive GSettings notifications with GLib >= 2.43

[Vlad Orlov]

With the latest GLib changes [1], if an app reads some data from GSettings before connecting there, it actually won't receive any notifications from GSettings afterwards.

This affects several MATE apps (and libs) in Ubuntu 15.04.
