Either ini or smalltalk.  In the latter case there is already "~/.st/init.st".

Two levels only please:

(Smalltalk preferences at: #windows)
    at: #background put: 'EDE9E3'.

or you can even force the first level to be a package.

(PackageLoader packageAt: 'GTK') preferences
    at: #'window-background' put: 'EDE9E3';
    at: #'font-size' put: 12.
