QSettings is one of the classes slated for replacement. It's too complex to 
maintain and add features to. It tries to do too much too.

We have had discussions about how to do this, but I can't find the link to the 
summaries. The idea is to replace it with something that supports;

 - multiple backends (including dconf and windows registry)
 - notification of changes from out-of-process (for GNOME)
 - immutability flags (for KDE)
 - memory-only settings, like Qt Publish & Subscribe
 - easier to use API for reading option groups

We also needed to add a class specifically for reading the windows registry. 
It's weird to use QSettings to do that.

Tomaz and Helio Castro have recently volunteered to take on that project.
