However, we'd like to be able to save/read different sets of params.  Perhaps we're mis-using the QSettings and should simply save our app-specific params in a separate file?  I'd welcome suggestions and example scripts.

why not save multiple groups of params using the same settings object?

so do something like:

     settings.setValue("params-01/window/pos", self.pos())
     settings.setValue("params-01/window/size", self.size())
     ...

     settings.setValue("params-02/window/pos", self.pos())
     settings.setValue("params-02/window/size", self.size())
     ...

which would result in an ini file like:

     [params-01]
     window\pos=@Point(794 473)
     window\size=@Size(400 400)
     ...

     [params-02]
     window\pos=@Point(794 473)
     window\size=@Size(400 400)
     ...
