No, I didn't. I'll take a look at it now.

At the time we discussed future projects, GSettings was not an option because we couldn't depend on glib 2.26. Meanwhile our base requirements have bumped anyway to gtk 2.24 (which implies at least glib 2.26), so now we're free to use GSettings in trunk. I bring this up again because lately we seem to get more and more Windows users having problems storing their preferences based on the old gconf setup.

GSettings also allows alternate backends, so we can somewhat transparently have different sets of settings (global, per-file, per-user, per-user-per-file) with a common API. > > >It was introduced in 2.26.
