I think this falls under...

Integrate the Registry With Native Configurations

Implement a bridge between the Windows registry and
the GNOME/KDE configuration systems. If you set the
wallpaper in a Windows app it should reflect on your
real desktop. This is useful for programs like the
WebShots desktop. This could be done by extending the
wineexplorer

It's fairly easy to do, just copy the GTK system
settings into the correct registry entries on startup
and visa-versa.

I have an old email from myself that tells me to take
a look at .... 

hkey_users \console ... Control Panel (for desktop
stuff) and Keyboard Layout

Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\print\printers
and
 
Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\profileList..
Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\profileGuid


HKEY_Local_machine\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SyncMgr\AutoSync\DOMAIN_UNAME
HKEY_Local_machine\system\controlSetxxx\services\*

So I expect that's a good place to start looking.

details on reading-writing Gnome/Kde settings should
be at www.freedesktop.org
