I liked the basic idea of XSettings (not so much the implementation proposal) 
and the approach in Qt2 implemented in qt_set_desktop_properties. 
Unfortunately, qt_set_desktop_properties only contains a minimal subset of 
the settings, it should really be updated to cover all the settings currently 
covered by QSettings. (I believe I even send a bugreport about it once)

Waldo
