Hi all,
what are the "properties" of GObjects, how are they used, and how
are they different from the things that can be stored/retrieved
via g_object_set/get_data() ? I've once tried, just for giggles,
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(some_gtk_widget), "foo", "bar", NULL);
and got a segfault. Little wonde

These are true, though I don't think 1) is t

Two is kinda annoying too, because they always seem to emit signals, and
occasionally that messes up when you start playing around with mul

Sorry, but this is not true. The property doesn't provide a place to
store the value, it only provides a way to get and set the value in a
