A follow-up on my own post...

I got this working. It turns out my the code I wrote to interact with gsettings was never called 
on Windows due to an issue that has nothing to do with gsettings.

As soon as I fixed that issue, my gsettings wrapper got used and gsettings worked out of the 
box on Windows.

Cheers,
Geert
