Short answer: `g_object_new'. 

I'm trying to (re)write some simple GTK+ bindings which are going to focus more
on  generating bindings via GObject's reflection/introspection-features than
going through the "parse C headers"-path.

Yeah, same with C-macros.

Thanks for the tip. The caching-idea might work. I'd only need to cache for
properties that are flagged `G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY'. 

If I'm not able to figure something out there I'll have to dive into
`g_object_newv' which seem(ed) way more complicated that `g_object_new'. :)
