Thanks for the reply.

Could you please elaborate? I am just beginning in GTK programming (and C
for that matter - I'm a Java man by trade) and am looking to get started
on the right foot, the way all the grumpy C programmers would do things :)

My guess is that the best thing to do is to write your own little config
library, and save your values out to INI or XML files. That way you are
reducing points of failure - a filesystem is more likely to be available
than a network daemon, right?

Cheers,
