In either case of XML or QSettings, you will need t set up a key-value  
relationship of some sort, even if the key makes no sense outside your  
application,

The QSettings API is pretty straight forward.  If you choose an XML  
solution, you will need to learn about SAX and/or DOM, but on the  
positive side, learning about XML is an important skill these days.
