I can make sure it gets into Qt at least, and I'm sure we can coordinate to
get it into GTK with backwards compatibility. I understand where you're
coming from, but this proposed standard does not compete with any other,
and it certainly does not compete with xsettings. FWIU, xsettings is a way
of storing the data -- this standard defines the data to be stored.
