Your reasoning is spot on, for example the user might set the game to a resolution that his/her monitor does not support. Having the settings/config dialog outside the game makes it possible to change the resolution to a working one easily.
As to what options it should have: Everything you think the user should be able to change, the more you expose the better. Keep in mind that users also expect options in the actual game, things like gamma and volume are hard to change when you dont see/hear the immediate changes.
And definitely store it in a readable text file, that way users can examine it and make manual changes if they so wish (Custom resolutions come to mind for example)
Anything game-specific, such as difficulty, player-name or whatnot, could/should be in-game only.

Nice!
Keep up the good work, you are awesome!
I agree with CruzR, looks a bit odd that she starts infront of then is suddenly behind the text..
Why not put her at the side like she is at the top of OGA site? That way she doesnt need to be faded away and there wont be any overlap issue.
Terrifying and amazing
Ditto
It's a removed feature.
These are awesome, keep it up!
How about some buildings and vehicles to go along with it?
