-  On Unix systems, QSettings uses text files to store settings. On Windows
-  systems, QSettings uses the system registry.  On Mac OS X, QSettings will
-  behave as on Unix, and store to text files.
-
-  Each setting comprises an identifying key and the data associated with
-  the key. A key is a unicode string which consists of \e two or more
-  subkeys. A subkey is a slash, '/', followed by one or more unicode
-  characters (excluding slashes, newlines, carriage returns and equals,
-  '=', signs). The associated data, called the entry or value, may be a
-  boolean, an integer, a double, a string or a list of strings. Entry
-  strings may contain any unicode characters.

-  If you want to save and restore the entire desktop's settings, i.e.
-  which applications are running, use QSettings to save the settings
-  for each individual application and QSessionManager to save the
