QSettings::SystemScope in Linux

[jpn]

Oh, that's a pity. I'm working on an application which has a remote user authetication. I had planned to store all application's user specific settings in a global location, so that all users of the application could retain their personal settings regardless of the current OS login. QSettings::SystemScope would've been perfect for this.. (..and actually, in Windows, it still is)

I suppose there is no distro/desktop independant folder like /etc/something which would have write permission for all users by default. Yuck, that even sounds like a horrible security threat.

Just set the correct access rights for the .conf file and everything will work.
