The Settings class is a generated wrapper around KDE's KConfig framework.
Look here http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT for 
an introduction to the concepts.

It is just a convenient way to specifiy a resource's config, it is not 
required.
We also use it to generate D-Bus accessors for the config but that is not 
required either.

You can do that or just use KConfig API for standard KDE key/value store.

Cheers,
Kevin
