	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.

	It does this by setting up signal watchers and adjusting
	the menuitems appropriately.  Most users should watch the
	menu items and the signal #DbusmenuClient::layout-changed 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.
