Yes, because The Right Way is for your plugin to load the new settings
without requiring reloading of the plugin. That should be doable for all
settings, no?  You can look e.g. hildon-desktop that reloads
its /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini configuration on-the-fly.
Using Gconf settings (and handling change notifications for them) is
another alternative.
