I don't know the reasoning/etc, my speculation would be that it is
probably a legacy decision, given things like:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration

No, at least, I very much doubt it. libgq seems to be unmaintained - or
at least, nobody seems interested in taking my patches to it, despite
repeated attempts to get somebody to have a look (see
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2010-August/027366.html
for details on that). I also don't think it is packaged for MeeGo.

I suspect that MGConfItem
(http://apidocs.meego.com/mtf/class_m_g_conf_item.html) is the thing to use, 
though
personally I think this would be better placed at the Qt level either relating 
to
QSettings (as mentioned in a reply to this mail) or something, so as for 
application
developers to maintain maximum portability (to e.g. Symbian)
