The file location may vary by your distro, at least ChatGPT tells so. Also 
strace might help you to check what file locations are accessed:

1. strace -o /tmp/strace.log gnome-terminal
2. grep settings.ini /tmp/strace.log

You'll probably want to use a Qt app rather than gnome-terminal, but the 
way to look for that is the same.
