In my project GSpeakers I use a custom settings class that writes plain 
text configuration files. It was originally borrowed from ickle (an icq 
client using gtkmm) but my version is slightly modified. This class is 
in GSpeakers cvs (on sourceforge).

However, if you or someone else decide to implement a cross platform 
gconf/win32-registry wrapper, please let the list know since I am sure 
some people would like to have something like that.
