Interestingly enough, the  apidoc for MGConfItem looks suspiciously
the same like the \brief in [0]. Seems likes only the name was changed
into t MeeGo SDK naming. (MGConfItem instead o GConfItem as available
from libgq).

Anyway, this is probably the way to go and yes, your note that it
should sit part of Qt instead of being "duplicated" in MeeGo makes
sense, although sometimes it makes it easier to release a "consistent"
API that wraps everything to unify access, so you always use MG*
instead of Using Q* for settings, and MG* for touch stuff etc.

Thanks for this reply, seems that betting on MGConfItem is reasonable.
I wonder why we have to "suspect" things btw, isn't the fact it is at
apidoc.meego.com makes it an "official" way to work with the settings?
