PonG is GNOmeProperties
PonG is a library for making preference/property dialogs. By default it does very simple dialog layout, however you can also use glade to design parts of the dialogs. You can also make it use Bonobo controls (not finished yet). It then sets up all the GConf foo to make things update properly. All that you need to write is a simple XML file (foo.pong) and then have pong load it for you when you want to display the dialog. In your app you then just have to handle gconf key change notifications for your preferences (something you need to do anyway with gconf).
A little bit of documentation is in: docs/pong.sgml
You will most likely wish to use pong-edit rather then making the files by hand.
You can look at the test program (pong/testpong.c and pong/testpong.pong and pong/testpongglade.pong). You could also check out how it's used in grapevine. For most use you will only need a couple API calls. The harder part would be making the .pong file. But that is quite straight forward.
