Actually users do notice: GConf/dconf settings are instant apply with
notifications across the desktop, QSettings not so much.
That's a difference in philosophy and, more than that, in the application
itself. It's not enough that the settings database updates, the application
must react to it and apply the settings that changed to its UI and behaviour.
Though, at present, QSettings provides no API for change notifications
(something which has irritated me, and obviously others, many times -
going by the number of GConf uses and wrappers that have proliferated
around Maemo, etc.)
So even if you want instant-apply, it's not trivial to make it Just
Work™. Presumably this is something that would be addressed in the DConf
work, anyway.
