I've also added another one to GTK+ recently:

Fontconfig/Timestamp
Timestamp (seconds from epoch) of the last time fotnconfig's
configuration or font database changed.

Currently gnome-settings-daemon monitors fontconfig configuration files
for and updates the above key upon changes.  Gtk+ then notices the
change and:

  - Makes fontconfig reread configuration,
  - Pango drop fontset caches,
  - Widgets redraw, possibly using new fonts and settings.
