Bug Description

After recent changes to scope settings handling in shell plugin (the switch from QSettings to glib-based settings) we now get empty settings.ini and settings dir created for absolutely every scope in the system, even if it doesn't offer any settings. This doesn't pose any issues as far as I can tell (other than polluting fs), but it would be nice not to do that if not needed.
