xfconf api: how to retrieve list of entries in some path

Hello folks,

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the names of all entries under certain
path (similar to listing a directory in a filesystem) - this shall only
give the names of the entries directly under the given path, but not
their sub entries.

The use case is defining configuration objects (which themselves are
sort of structs) and enumerating them directly (w/o additionally having 
to record their names anywhere else)

I've tried xfconf_channel_get_properties(), but that doesn't work as I
expected: it ignores entries of type "empty" (but shows "array"s), and
also lists all the sub-entries.

Does anyone have an idea how to do that correctly ?
