<a name="libdbusmenu-glib-DbusmenuClient.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The client exists as a mirror to the server. For most folks
all they will do with a client is set it up to connect to
a server and then watch as the menu items on their side
of the bus change. This is all they should need to know about
the client, that it magically makes their menuitems dance.
</p>
<p>
It does this by setting up signal watchers and adjusting
the menuitems appropriately. Most users should watch the
menu items and the signal <span class="type">"layout-changed"</span> for
larger events so that they can be optimized. It is possible
with that signal that even the root node would change. If
that doesn't happen the normal signals on the individual
nodes should be enough for most users.

This function creates a new client that connects to a specific
server on DBus. That server is at a specific location sharing
a known object. The interface is assumed by the code to be
the DBus menu interface. The newly created client will start
sending out events as it syncs up with the server.

updated and then return the newly updated layout. Chances
are that this update is in the queue for the mainloop as
it would have been requested some time ago, but in theory
it could block longer.
