My current plan is to set up a decent command-line interface; therefore, instead of making the app itself into a desktop widget, you could create a lightweight GUI (maybe a QBW?) that makes scripted calls to Pierogi. Anyway, just one idea.

I'm not really into maemo developing, anyway to get things easy the functionality could be like this:

1) Define a common set of keys shared between keysets (e.g. volume up-down, channel up-down, etc...) to use in a desktop widget
2) Develop a feature like: "Create/replace Widget from current keyset"

That would create/replace a desktop widget based on the current keyset only and using common keys defined; thus resolving the storing problem.

The downside is you could have a widget with only one keyset at a time, anyway I think it would be good for the majority of users

This is just an idea, forgive me if things aren't so easy as speaking
