Alternatively the xsettings manager could save the options if they are
registered by the modules:

typedef struct
{
    char *name;
    int int_value;
    char *string_value;
} Option;

void register_app(char *app_name, char *treeview_translateable_name);
void register_option_int(char *app, Option *option);
void register_option_string(char *app, Option *option);

the manager can save the settings as xml file:

<Xfce>
  <option name="size" value="1"/>
  <option name="lockcommand" value="xflock"/>
  ...
</Xfce>
<Xfwm>
  ...
</Xfwm>

Just a thought.
