You should just not worry about your settings being in a separate file
or not. GNUstep currently stores all defaults in one file, which btw I
do not like. All you need to do is to get and set your values from/in
[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] and things should work as
expected.
I think the concern here was sharing defaults between a preferences
application and the actual screen save tool (which might need to be
some kind of daemon, or at least might need to be a daemon that
handles starting the screen saver). I don't really have a good answer
for how to do this. There could be several ways - writing your own
defaults file might be one of them.
Also, there's the issue of system-wide defaults vs user-defaults,
which NSUserDefaults doesn't handle currently (AFAIK), but that could
be useful for a screensaver.
