I don't have any patches, but I do have an experimental XSettings daemon
I wrote for KDE a couple of years ago. You'll find the code for that at
http://ktown.kde.org/~fredrik/xsettings-manager.tar.bz2

Ideally this shouldn't be a daemon on its own of course, but rather merged
with an existing one. I'd suggest ksmserver.

What the client side bits should look like is an open question, which is
why this never made its way into CVS/SVN.

Specifically there's the question of whether it's Qt's or kdelibs'
responsibility to read and apply the available settings, whether a public
API should be available, and if so how that API should relate to KConfig
and KGlobalSettings.
