Well, a few places. We'd probably want to add something here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/XSettingsRegistry
Then, I suppose there should be a GtkSettings property:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkSettings.html
And then, yes, gnome-settings-daemon would be responsible for
watching GConf (or whatever) and settings the XSetting.
