    Writes the string list entry \a value into key \a key. The \a key
    is created if it doesn't exist. Any previous value is overwritten
    by \a value. The list is stored as a sequence of strings separated
    by \a separator, so none of the strings in the list should contain
    the separator. If the list is empty or null the key's value will
    be an empty string.

    If an error occurs the settings are left unchanged and FALSE is
    returned; otherwise returns TRUE.

    Reads the entry specified by \a key as a string. The \a separator
    is used to create a QStringList by calling QStringList::split(\a
    separator, entry). If \a ok is not 0: \a *ok is set to TRUE if the
    key was read, otherwise \a *ok is set to FALSE.

    Note that if you want to iterate over the list, you should iterate
    over a copy, e.g.
    \code
    QStringList list = mySettings.readListEntry( "size", " " );
    QStringList::Iterator it = list.begin();
    while( it != list.end() ) {
