Just use QSettings if you don't need to listen to subscribe to changes
in settings (most apps don't). GConf is too heavy and
platform-specific for most needs.

If you need to subscribe to changes, consider Qt Mobility "Publish &
Subscribe" API instead. It can use gconf as back-end on Linux.

Being there is not really a sign of something being official, at least yet.
