Well, i don't know if this is perfect for you, but i recently wrote
preferences handling for Dia. It uses the gscanner interface and
saves/reads ~/.diarc. It's entierly table-driven, so adding a new
preference is very easy. If you're coding a GPL program you can just snag
this code and use it. It's in the 'dia' module in the gnome cvs tree.
Check out app/preferences.c.
