I think you can do a variant of b.  Each Game will contain a widget member 
which is its GUI configuration, and it can export this to the main widget.

So the main widget doesn't have to know anything about the contents of the 
widget, it just inserts "game->uiWidget()" into the config window layout, 
when the user asks to modify that game's settings.

Might that work? (Disclaimer: I haven't looked closely at the code, but I did 
see that you have subclassed each simulation, and I think the above is 
consistent with that approach)

Are the simulations going to remain pure Qt apps?  If you ever adopt KDE, you 
could use KConfigXT, and just rely on the name of each option to distinguish 
which game it belongs to.
