def METHOD_NAME(self):
    # This should have self.settings.unbind or something.. but unbind is broken via introspection
    # in more than one glib version.  This achieves the same thing (preventing updates to the spinner)
    # by overwriting the .DEFAULT binding with a .GET_NO_CHANGES which only fetches the settings value
    # once at binding time.
    self.settings.bind(GTK_RECENT_MAX_AGE, self.spinner, "value",
                       Gio.SettingsBindFlags.GET | Gio.SettingsBindFlags.GET_NO_CHANGES)
