Oops, you're right.  It doesn't seem like Qt offers a way to query or 
set this.  I suspect this might be due to the global nature of this 
setting.  It's set in an operating system or desktop environment 
preference and affects all applications.  Setting it from a Qt app would 
probably mean that the new setting would apply to other application as 
well, which is not good.  And having read-only access to this value 
doesn't serve any useful purpose.

But I suppose a Qt guru might be able to answer this with more confidence.
