 "It is not intended:

 - for the storage of application-specific data
 - to be able to store large amounts of data
 - to store complex data types (other than as strings)"

Basically, XSettings only works when you have a very small number of
settings that everyone agrees on (like double-click time and default
font). "XFCE clock background colour" would be a really bad XSetting, for
example.

Plus, having per-application settings in a central location is just
horrible, IMHO ;-)

BTW, the core of the XSettings support in ROX-Session is from the
reference implementation (and related to the code in GTK and GNOME, I
think). ROX-Session just joins that code with our options dialog...
