While we would want this to work, for now it's partly broken. As explained on bug 1181561 comment 26:
 - settings.js loads SettingsRequestManager.jsm in parent
 - in content, add an observer against a setting
 - have chrome code living in content that uses SettingsService to set the same setting

Expected:
 Content observer is triggered

Actual:
 No observer is triggered on content side.

A quick patch to avoid anyone loosing time on this issue will be to deny loading SettingsRequestManager in content process
